Hi all,

Just installed antergoes which is an arch diribitive distro.  Any how I have yaourt  Enabled to install packages from the AUR.  When I attempted to install or update packages with yaourt I get command not found.  For example, when I type yaourt -S espeak-ng-git I get the responce, "bash command not found."  any ideas on this.  has something changed that I am unare of.   I never had this problem with this before.  Thanks all.

Matthew If you're on Antergos, go ask the Antergos people.

The problem seems to be saulved yaourt is in the antergoes repo so it should be fixed now and all seems to be well.  I would have asked them, but did not find the forms to see what I cocould do about it.

Ignoring that Antergoes isn't supported by this mailing list, AUR helpers aren't supported by Arch Linux. "Warning: AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. You should become familiar with the manual build process in order to be prepared to troubleshoot problems." - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers To keep it short, $ pacman -Q yaourt yaourt 1.9-1 does work. A yaourt feature doesn't work properly, there's an issue with showing AUR comments, but that has got no impact on the build process. Yaourt does a good job, it suffers from minor pitfalls. By default it builds in /tmp, which usually is a tmpfs, so it could be too small to build some software. If you build manually in a too small tmpfs, it's the same issue ;). If a command isn't found, it's usually an issue that isn't related to discontinued or problematic software. It's an issue on it's own. $ hahaha -S espeak-ng-git bash: hahaha: command not found $ which yaourt /usr/bin/yaourt $ which hahaha which: no hahaha in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/icecat:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)

Can you please refrain from willfully ignoring this fact.

No problem! Could you please post a complete sentence? On Wed, 22 Aug 2018 19:21:14 +0200, Ralf Mardorf wrote:

What I tried to point out is, that AUR helpers aren't supported at all, let alone that "bash: yaourt: command not found" or what ever else "bash command not found" the OP gets, already is a pointer in the right direction. A short reply, does cause less annoying traffic, than beeing more Catholic than the Pope.

I'd guess the helpfulness is appreciated, but an off-list reply would have helped to keep the noise down.

Somebody replied to the list that 'yaourt' seems to be discontinued or problematic. This might be correct or incorrect, it's just not related to a "command not found" issue, so posting to the list isn't completely unreasonable. However, yes, I should have replied off-list, but at least Eli and you should have done this, too ;).
