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.

@marcin it's user error. All AUR packages expect you to have base-devel installed.

Suddenly started getting the following error:

runtime/cgo
# runtime/cgo
cgo: exec /missing-cc: fork/exec /missing-cc: no such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:112: yay] Error 2

To solve the issue, installing gcc was enough:

sudo pacman -S gcc

Seems to be breaking all of a sudden in a clean chroot build by CI:

@jguer

Can you please make sudo an optional dependency (optdepends). In the light of the critical vulnerability in sudo some people may want to get rid of sudo on their systems and replace it with some alternatives like su, doas or pkexec.

@mcdragon "DistroTube" is low info click-bait. Disregard it.

@mcdragon

Yay is still maintained and will keep receiving updates (ex: pacman 6 support).

I am more focused on making the interfaces on yay more stable and developer friendly, of testing components to avoid them breaking between fixes, checking for bottlenecks. In terms of feature amount you may want to try Paru, Morganamilo has a lot of experience and wisdom on the subject.

This last year has been atypical which also hasn't allowed me to dedicate as much time as I wanted to yay but expect this maintainability focus (as opposed to feature focus) to last at least until summer.

Distrotube stated that yay not supported anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3j3tivcm50 Is this true? He is advising switching to paru which is maintaned by Morganamilo

@cmonty14 Sality HenryM: Please read the pinned comment. I would consider posting unformatted logs spam, myself.

latest update refused to build because "Program 'a2x' not found" turns out it's a part of "asciidoc" after installing the ascii & asciidoc packages yay updated without a problem.
