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.

fakeroot is part of the base-devel group that is a requirement for makepkg therefore it is not necessary to add it as a dependency (I mean if you're using yay only for pacman because it's pretty I guess that's a too specific use case we've never taken into account). https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#makedepends

It's a shame someone missed the opportunity to name this AUR helper "ayy" instead. This is the best aur helper out there. Thanks for the package!

It's the nature of the beast. Pacman wrappers attract the kind of helpless users that can't work with basic tools shipped with the distribution.

During the installation phase there is no point in using an aur helper

ftfy ;)

Surely it works if all deps packages are installed. It doesn't though on a clean system. Filed a bug report. It makes me mad, that yay deny to work under root. That is the only possibility on a new chrooted system. I have to make a new user and su to it just to be able use yay. At the same time pacman doesn't work under user and I have to switch back to root or use sudo. Being a root initially it is perverse to pretend to be another user and then call sudo. During the installation phase there is no point to be non root user. 100% of work requires root privileges. And again yaourt doesn't have such an issue. It just works. Good lesson - new is not always better than old.

I passed all of the initial phase of build and it works, please report this kind of issue in the upstream URL, also, we're very sorry to see you go, you will be missed.

Unable to use YAY just to install a single package. Simple construction "yay -S ffmpeg-libfdk_aac" didn't work YAY reports problem each time at different place: "Inner conflicts found" My guess the problem is that single package libva provides libva.so, libva-x11.so and libva-drm.so at the same time. Yaourt doesn't have that issue and works perfect. I've droped yay from my system.
