What I want to know is, given that the OP's original message clearly
stated he *already has* yaourt installed... why, oh why, must the peanut
gallery recommend *undoing* all that good work of manually (presumably
-- one hopes) installing an AUR helper, and instead recommend activating
the dreaded [archlinuxfr] repo?

(This peanut gallery has posted here before, somehow I am not surprised
he uses [archlinuxfr].)

Either Jude DaShiell didn't read the OP at all, just the subject line,
or he really, really, really wants people to use [archlinuxfr] for some
truly bizarre (and messed up) reason.

Either option is kind of scary.

...

I also couldn't help but notice, not only did he recommend [archlinuxfr]
he also recommended installing archlinuxfr/yaourt via a partial update!
