[SOLVED] mkinitcpio and kernel upgrades without SyncFirst option?

Question

As pacman 4.1 doesn't more provide SyncFirst option how to be sure mkinitcpio will run after linux-headers installation?
for example, in case of
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … any_kernel
previously, i had
SyncFirst = pacman linux-headers linux-lts-headers linux-pf-headers

Answer 1

I hat to uninstall yaourt, yail and package-query simply by:
sudo pacman -Rcs yaourt
then run commands:
sudo pacman -Sy
sudo pacman -S linux-headers
sudo pacman -S pacman
sudo pacman -S yaourt
modify ~/.bashrc with this line
alias yaourt='sudo /usr/bin/pacman -Sy linux-headers pacman --needed 2>/dev/null && yaourt'
2>/dev/null suppresses warnings about the skipped reinstalls of linux-headers and pacman
Now use yaourt -Su instead of formerly yaourt -Syu
yaourt -Su
