@jguer Just to let you know that trying to do that (install yay-bin then update as normal with pacman) ended up actually removing pacman from my system for some reason - luckily the dependencies were still there so I could manually copy the files in from a manually downloaded copy from the package repos, and now everything is fine.

if one does not like binary packages, copied from https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/dlpng7/cant_pacman_syu_because_of_yay/
yay -G yay #clones new yay from git
yay -R yay #removes old yay
sudo pacman -Syu
cd yay/
makepkg -si #install the yay you cloned

Is anyone else getting problems with the diff functionality in 9.4.2? When upgrading a package, the diff behaves as if every version is an initial commit, e.g.:
diff --git /home/dgmulf/build/aur/st/PKGBUILD /home/dgmulf/build/aur/st/PKGBUILD
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..7ad8f2e
--- /dev/null
+++ /home/dgmulf/build/aur/st/PKGBUILD
[...]

Is it really necessary to put the specific pacman version in the dependency list? It might be not totally clean, but can't you just expect that it is built with the current versions from the official repo? Then yay would as usual upgrade from the offical repos first, build the AUR stuff afterwards and everything would be fine.
Also if we are really strict, if yay-bin is compiled against v5.2 (libalpm.so.12) it will also not run with 5.1.x. So it should also depend on pacman>=5.2, or not? If you fix this that workaround would also not work.

@jguer Another method is to fetch the latest yay PKGBUILD yay -G yay, update pacman, then build the new yay with makepkg.

sudo pacman -R yay
sudo pacman -Syu
cd yay # your old yay dir... otherwise follow new install
git pull
makepkg -si
cd ..
yay -Syu
worked for me :)

Having issues upgrading yay and pacman at the same time? Here is the proposed workaround for now.
yay -S yay-bin
sudo pacman -Syu
yay -S yay
yay-bin is a binary ready package with yay already compiled against v5.2, it does not require go to build. https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/1084

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