[arch-general] Problems using AUR since upgrade of pacman db version
Hi! I'm facing some problems using the AUR with many helper programs (cower, packer etc). That might be due to the latest upgrade of the pacman database to version 4.2. Is there a simple way to use AUR? Thanks in advance! Marcel Kleinfeller P.S.: I'm really not sure whether this is the right place to ask.

I'm pretty sure both of the named helpers were written in scripted languages. cheers! mar77i

nope, packer is scripted but cower is based on libalpm -- Bhushan Shah http://bhush9.github.io IRC Nick : bshah on Freenode

Not intending to contradict, but rebuilding cower worked for me. I used a clean tarball and did makepackage --skipinteg (see the discussion under cower in the AUR) Geoff

Same here on multiple systems. The pacman upgrade replaced libalpm.so from .8 to .9, you'll probably need to run 'pacman-db-upgrade', then rebuild/reinstall cower (another thread also mentioned package-query, which backs yaourt). If you're using pacaur there's an update for that as well which adds the prevent-as-root check to align with the new pacman 4.2 restriction. hth, -te

The procedure described here, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/package-query/ worked for package -query and pkgbrowser.

yaourt users will need to rebuild package-query as well, even though yaourt itself is a shell wrapper.
