Since package-query I like yaourt and wanted to keep it I follow the instructions on their pacman could not satisfy dependencies page (http://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en#get_it). I added their repo to my /etc/pacman.conf and then installed yaourt from pacman and now everything works again like
Uninstall Yaourt
it should.When I try to upgrade packages I get the following errors:[jason@barnaby ~]$ sudo pacman -Su :: The following packages should be upgraded first : pacman :: Do you want to cancel the current operation

upgrade (pacman -Syu)Everything has been running fine, since then.Today, pacman won't install pacman remove package or update anything.$ sudo pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up pacman force remove to date community is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: package-query: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133684 requires pacman<4.3The error message, states that it requires a version of pacman <4.3... which I do have installed (4.2.1 to be exact):$ pacman -V pacman .--.

I also commented multilib and xenlism-arch from pacman.conf. When I do pacman -Syu I get the following: :: Proceed with installation?
