    Some may notice that, pacman package manager is updated to version 4.2, and may not work on Tux Hat Linux, so what i have notice is that i had to use pacman-db-upgrade, and after pacman -Syy. Right now I have no idea that i can't use yaourt now in root, and somehow makepkg can't seem to use option --asroot, but i have see the option in the manpage .. hmm strange, just a yearly arch linux distro update, so this should be resolved soon, but for those that are using THL now, i would do the the following above.

    Thanks once again for trying out Tux Hat Linux, and also I do my best to report issues on here.

    Cheers! o/

    Pacman 4.2 with makepkg 4.2 they left out the option --asroot, so when trying to fetch and install a package from yaourt AUR it will fail, and will give you a error message saying no option --asroot, it is in there with pacman 4.1.2 and makepkg 4.1.2, but some reason it is taken out in pacman 4.2 and makepkg 4.2 so theres no option for --asroot, not sure this will be like this for now on, if so you may need to install compton from a newly created Tux Hat Linux HDD installation in the user.

    I will post back if anything change as this is a recent update, and I just started getting this last night and today.

    so if anybody know more about this issue, or anything, just post away on here, as I am trying to make a work around it for now, but right now it's being a bugger for my next release THL 3.1 as the pacman update is umm a bit meh for now.
