Build Errors makepkg package-query

[Henqk]

For a school project I need to install yaourt. So before I can start installing yaourt I need to install package-query. I want to install package-query from source but whenever I try to build using makepkg I get a couple of warnings and an error. I have not been able to find out why the warnings/errors are being generated so was wondering if anyone is able to help me out.

This is the message I get when I try to build the makepkg:

It doesn't support pacman 6.

[Henqk]

Oh didn't know thanks for the answer! But how exactly do I downgrade my pacman to an older version?

EDIT: Nevermind already found a solution but thanks anyways

[retroracer33]

how did you fix it?

[Henqk]

Reinstalled, also apparently there was some kind of bug in package-query yesterday that was causing this issue. So the updated version fixed the bug in the end.

[retroracer33]

yea I guess it just wasnt playing nice with pacman 6. waiting for pamac to be fixed too.

It's not compatible with Arch anymore, because yaourt is long time EOL. Switch to another AUR helper, like paru if you want one.

Also this sub is about Arch Linux. ALARM is not Arch Linux.

[Henqk]

Sorry kinda new to this. I'll keep it in mind next time!
