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.

To be honest, haven't change any setting, just updated as usual and suddenly starts reinstalling same versions of already installed AUR packages. Using default config, haven't added any repository. Although preferring closer repos, which happens automatically. Tried to report it - https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/2055

Hey @Scala, @zeroconf can you create an issue on GitHub so we can look into more details on the settings being used, application debug logs and pacman repositories installed?

@Scala, @zeroconf: All my AUR packages weren't rebuilt. Having read your comments, I did

$ yay -Y --gendb
[lots of activity]
$ yay -Y --devel --save

before I ran v12 for the first time, and it only built those packages that were ripe for update.

As of version 12, why are all my AUR packages being rebuilt over and over?

Can anyone explain, why after yay update (v12.0.0-1) it asks to reinstall lots of programs with same version, e.g. one case is 83 packages but EOS notifier shows only 2 packages.... There are both own packages and also AUR packages. At the same time pacman does not show those packages (extra, community) needed to update, what yay shows... Just in case I will not do that huge reinstallation for now... I have already in two PC's such situation... Here is one example https://pastebin.com/Tim1wGKA

@sausix: It's fixed with gettext 0.21.1-5. See FS#78068

Looks like libxml2 is a required dependency.

msgfmt: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:132: po/de.mo] Error 127

After switch to another Desktop Environment, I noticed that yay stopped working with the following error message.

failed to create directory '/yay': mkdir /yay: permission denied

Even yay --version and yay --help do not work.

After setting XDG_CACHE_HOME yay starts working again.

According the XDG specifications, the variable XDG_CACHE_HOME is not mandatory and each application should automatically fallback.

$XDG_CACHE_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user-specific non-essential data files should be stored. If $XDG_CACHE_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.cache should be used.

Source: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

Can you fix yay in a way that it won't fail on the missing XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable?
