yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This will happen if you upgrade pacman and yay separately If you have this error you need to manually recompile yay

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

I cannot delete the spam comments appearing regularly in this page, which has also led me to disable notifications from here. I remind that the best way to receive support or report a problem is through the Upstream URL.

Many golang pkgs cannot be downloaded when makepkg -si. Then yay doesn't work anymore. do: $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libalpm.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib/libalpm.so.14 yay works.Beside update itself.

Echoing this from a GitHub PR - Cleanbuild the git repo of yay if you're having problems, it solved the issue for me.

makepkg -Cf && makepkg -si

With pacman 7.0.0.r3.g7736133-1:

The build failures relating to telemetry files may be an upstream issue: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/68946
