Oh no is my yay going to break for a week or two again?

Is yay known to break after pacman updates?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I believe at the v6 bump something in libalpm changed and it broke the way I had installed yay, at least. Took me a bit to fix because previously I'd just installed yay with go install and IIRC that didn't work to rebuild.

I want to say this was the issue: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/1519

I updated two PCs yesterday and both were fairly far behind in updates. My main rig was without issue (it was about 4 weeks since last updated). A secondary pc that was a couple of months behind did have a weird issue with the mirrors being offline or something. This was using the default mirror lists. Pac-Man couldn’t find the repositories. Ran reflector and everything was fine again. I’m thinking the issue didn’t have anything to do with pacman.

Anyways - the pacman upgrade was uneventful (which was good)
