Please don't consider using that repo, it's really pretty bad. @agent0, you did understand that you need to rebuild package-query *after* updating pacman itself, right? Remove that symlink you created, that's a very, very bad thing to do.

consider using the unofficial (and unsigned) user repository "archlinuxfr": The repository provides yaourt and package-query. The packages were quickly updated after the new pacman version was added to the Core-repo. [archlinuxfr] Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch ( Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/unofficial_user_repositories#archlinuxfr )

agent0: if pacman 4.2.0-5 is installed & you say you rebuilt package-query & it still links to /usr/lib/libalpm.so.8; then it seems you missed something. Make sure pacman 4.2.0-5 is installed before rebuilding package-query. After reinstalling it, check if you get this output: $ ldd /usr/bin/package-query | grep alpm libalpm.so.9 => /usr/lib/libalpm.so.9 (0x00007fe9d4c66000)

@josephgbr, yes, I deleted package-query and yaourt and did makepkg -s. Then installed them with sudo pacman -U. And that did not solved problem.

wwgfd's advice to ln -s /usr/lib/libalpm.so.9 /usr/lib/libalpm.so.8 helped me.

agent0: did you reinstall PACKAGE-QUERY or yaourt? You need to rebuild package-query and reinstall package-query

Did not helped me. I follewed ArthurBorsboom instruction and even I reinstalled yaourt manually, but I still have package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in yaourt output and it does not work!

No, this is not a chicken-and-egg problem as it is still possible to install packages from the AUR without AUR Helpers. They are helpers after all. You needn't use a third party repo either. Just follow ArthurBorsboom's solution and install package-query manually and you're done.

Guys, this is a classical chicken-and-egg problem and therefore there's no magical solution. package-query needs to be rebuilt because of a shared library version bump (by the pacman update), but if you try rebuilding it with yaourt, you'll inevitably fail, because yaourt itself *depends* on package-query. No clever tricks in the PKGBUILD can help to avoid this problem (some nasty hacks in fact may, but that's not the point). And this is why you have to rebuild package-query manually when such shared libs updates happen. Now, the only reasonable way to keep the automation working -- if you prefer it that way -- is to use precompiled packages from a repo. There is, in fact, such repo, which the yaourt developers maintain themselves. More information on how to set it up: https://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en#get_it

FWIW simply sym-linking `/usr/lib/libalpm.so.9` to `/usr/lib/libalpm.so.8` worked for me (I know someone should slap me for that but hey...) Maybe the PKGBUILD script could be updated in some way to force compiling with the *new* version of libalpm ?
