This is a known bug in yaourt.

See the comments there:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5863

I hope, that wain, the maintainer and developer of yaourt, will fix
yaourt soon, because there are some more major bugs in this script.
Some of them are also security issues. In the comments he unfortunately
hasn't answered anymore for over a year.

At least for now, it is necessary to have community packages also in
AUR, because there's no package database for community as it is for
core, extra and testing. At least I don't know such a package database.
So AUR is the only possible place, where to flag a community package as
out-of-date, where to file bug reports for a community package or where
to contact the package maintainer for other purposes regarding such a
package.
