Yaourt, expected?

Question

Hello,
I have been using AUR for more important packages that I feel should be optimized and compiled on my system (firefox-pgo, mplayer, etc.), but I've been looking for an easier way to check the AUR packages (that I already have installed) for updates, and automagically download, makepkg, and update them. I've installed yaourt in hopes that it could take care of this for me..
However, I have run into (percieved?) issues. Running 'yaourt -Sybu - -aur' gives me:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
archlinuxfr is up to date
==> Packages to build from sources:
mplayer 29411-3
Proceed with compilation and installation ? [Y/n]y
Source Targets:  mplayer live-media
Proceed with upgrade?  [Y/n] y
==> Building mplayer from sources
mplayer was not found on abs repos.archlinux.org
==> Building live-media from sources
live-media was not found on abs repos.archlinux.org
I don't think that yaourt is even looking in the AUR, and also why is this extra live-media dep existing now, as I don't see it being a dependency on AUR for mplayer..?
Please advise.

I have written a different patch which does not require ABS to be installed and uses the new WebSVN, this is more similar to the current yaourt mechanism

You will need to apply it to /usr/bin/yaourt and /usr/lib/yaourt/abs.sh. I will propose it to the yaourt mantainers.
