please report your issue here with attaching the full output with --pikaur-debug flag: https://github.com/actionless/pikaur/issues

there is no obfuscation - the code does exactly as it seems to do - shifting string 1 character and printing it

Also it's a clear lie that it doesn't have comments - it have.

Also even IF it would be obfuscated (it's not) - AUR hosting a lot of intentionally obfuscated packages (like bitwig-studio, which is one example i know of, as its user, or as another example nvidia* packages)

That's just a special anti-cheat system for users who too ignorant to read the arch wiki - and as far as i might guess, if you're seeing that message and thus got triggered from it - you're most probably one of them.

Indeed, this is unconventional:

• actionless/pikaur@94ec6b0
• actionless/pikaur@ac93717

Perhaps this is done to prevent users from googling the error message, but there are no explanatory comments.

Obfuscation techniques are used to make the code harder to read. Be careful!

conflicts=(pikaur-git) should not be defined (should be removed). The conflict is already defined in package pikaur-git.

@d3Xt3r pikaur-aurnews was apparently deleted upon someone's request: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/thread/2FUODFBMJLIHB3443HIPBLHFTUMYVX4C then resubmitted and deleted again twice: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/thread/UDWV3S3LWANJKXPVFSDJPETYUMWSOYDE and https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/thread/FHB6X62OWQZIKHOK5PGD5D732L35MEV4

Does anyone know what happened to pikaur-aurnews? It's suddenly gone from the AUR and I can't find any news about it anywhere.

pikaur 1.19-1 installs fine but doesn't work:

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 3)

Pikaur ships a systemd timer which uses paccache provided by pacman-contrib package to clean cache files, but why pacman-contrib is not listed as an optional dependency here?

@skunktrader it's not helpful information at all, see pinned comments for details

Attempting to update to pikaur 1.18.2-1 using pikaur fails with the following:
