@m040601: Version 1.7.0 has been released and works for me

PKGBUILD out of date : does not support libalpm v13.0.0 only v12

According to https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru,

Installation
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git
cd paru
makepkg -si

this gives

error: failed to run custom build command for `alpm v1.1.12`

For me Paru works a lot better than Yay. The problem that bothered me the most with this last one, it was always missing updates of git packages. I see you reworked this part, thank you for that.

Now I can fully trust my AUR helper because it does things the right way :)

@totogtr thank you! Had that issue for a while now. Thx for the fix :)

I'm having an issue with release 1.6.1-1, seems related to anyhow dependency. If anyone is having the same issue a rustup default stable (never did that before) seems to correct the issue.

@andrej It would be helpful to include more information like the version of rustc you're using. Latest stable (1.51.0) doesn't seem to have any issues with alpm 1.1.8. Another thing to try is possibly running "cargo update" - maybe something in the dependency tree is outdated.

I’m running into E0367 when trying to build this (caused by alpm).

@B28302: It means those packages neither exist in the Arch repos nor AUR. It appears you're using Manjaro and those packages were removed.

What does this mean...

$ paru -Syu

:: Synchronizing package databases...

core is up to date

extra is up to date

community is up to date

multilib is up to date

:: Starting full system upgrade...

there is nothing to do

:: Looking for AUR upgrades

:: Looking for devel upgrades

:: Packages not in the AUR: linux-latest linux-latest-headers

there is nothing to do

Should the packages "linux-latest linux-latest-headers" be in AUR?

Why does it also say "Starting full system upgrade" (implying an action), yet "there is nothing to do" (no action)?
