AUR/Yaourt says "Continue building of $PKG?" etc, instead of its name

Question

I don't know what I changed or if I accidentally uninstalled some unknown dependency but now I'm getting lines that say:
Continue the building of $PKG? [Y/n]
Continue installing $PKG? [Y/n]
Checking vote status for $_pkg
Do you want to vote for $_pkg inclusion/keeping in [community]? [Y/n]
I don't understand what happened because earlier it was saying the actual package name, like "Continue the building of sdcv?", sdcv being a package from the AUR. Anybody have any ideas with this, I mean, it's not a major dilemma but it's rather irritating. I foresee myself installing something that compiles for 5 minutes and then forget what I was installing and have to scroll up when it prompts me with "Continue installing $PKG?", lol.

Answer 1

Ok, I have:
1. Completely removed (-Rsn) Yaourt, cleaned cache, updated ABS (just in case, I dunno!)
2. Completely removed aurvote, customizepkg, pacman-color, colordiff and did same as above (just in case..)
3. sudo updatedb, searched for anything with the words from the packages above, found nothing except in /var
4. Looked in pacman.conf for anything out of ordinary; yielding nothing except defaults and user repos.
5. Reinstalled xorg core, cleaned cache, updated ABS
6. Reinstalled wget > pacman > Yaourt > aurvote > customizepkg > pacman-color > colordiff. Then 'sudo updatedb', update ABS (lol)
7. End up with same results as before: $PKG, $_pkg instead of package name. Very confusing and irritating, now.
This is bothersome as it becomes hard to keep track of what I'm installing especially when a package has a bunch of dependencies. So, I'm at a loss and am going to have to install another AUR Helper, I think.
EDITx2: Installed aurshell and it seems to work about as good as Yaourt. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise for me. Still curious as to why Yaourt messed up though.
EDITx1: Here's my yaourtrc, even though it's default.. maybe some suggestions?
