Maybe I get your question wrong, but Pacman always need to run with root/sudo privileges. Yaourt does not, although at same point it will ask the password for calling pacman or doing root actions.

Thought pacman always run with root privileges? I'll check this later. Thx for report

I've got an error when installing it: ==> Starting package()... perl -i -pe "s/\@version\@/8.88/g" <alien.lsm.in >alien.lsm install -d /usr/share/alien/patches \ /var/lib/alien install: cannot create directory '/usr/share/alien': Permission denied install: cannot change permissions of '/var/lib/alien': No such file or directory make: *** [extra_install] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... perl -i -pe "s/\@version\@/8.88/g" <alien.spec.in >alien.spec ---- Maybe the Makefile.PL needs to be executed with root permission.

There is a problem cause alien already exist in aur. Hope this is fixed now.
