There is a bug with compiling on non-x86_64 arch with yay 12.5.7. Use yay-git instead until next version is released: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/2756
сборка происходит, пакет появляется. вижу ошибки " awk не доступен" ,"pacman - нет подписи пакета yay-блабла.zst"
пожалуйста подскажите ЧЯДНТ, как поправить что ?
оказалось недостаточно прав доступа к gawk и ссылке awk сделал
chmod 775 /usr/bin/awk $ stat --format '%a' /usr/bin/gawk 775
@arnaud The same thing happens if you use pacman (e.g., sudo -- pacman --sync --clean --clean), so the observed behaviour is related to pacman, and not to yay.
Hi. Last version doesn't seem to do well on cleanup:
$ yay -V
yay v12.5.7 - libalpm v16.0.1
$ LANG=C yay -Scc
Cache directory: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
:: Do you want to remove ALL files from cache? [y/N] y
removing all files from cache...
error: could not remove /var/cache/pacman/pkg/download-TJDp7u: Is a directory
Database directory: /var/lib/pacman/
:: Do you want to remove unused repositories? [Y/n]
removing unused sync repositories...
-> exit status 255
yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
all v12.5.7 binaries are compiled against pacman's 7.1 libalpm.
If you updated pacman separately from yay you'll need to run either of these (yay or yay-bin)
sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
or
sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git
cd yay-bin
makepkg -si
@smokcat maybe this is due to the new version of bash?
Trying to invoke "bash-completion" when using yay results in the following: "bash: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input\n"
this error is specific to yay and doesnt happen if trying to use bash-completion on any other utility.
