@w9hdg

There was some issue with the aur.archlinux.org certificate. Maybe you tried updating while it was broken and now your cache is fucked (that's the technical term).

Try cleaning cache (pacman + yay). No idea anymore how it works on vanilla Arch, maybe yay -Scc(??) and then follow the steps mentioned by umireon

Hope it helps

I will go so far as to apologize for venting my frustration here. When you say "fix your system" and this is the only package that is having the problem I view it as unhelpful because as I said. This Arch install is only a week old so I haven't had enough time to break it. It installed the previous version (1.3.6) last week with no problems so when it doesn't work on the 1.3.7 version (and all my other AUR packages update just fine via yay) I don't see it as a "my system" issue.

Could you at least give me a recommendation as to where to start with investigating the issue that is supposedly on my system?

@w9hdg Please stick to provide information what is helpful for other users and package maintainers here because comments on AUR is for helping others. There is no information what I can use to help you and I need to say "Solve yourself." for now. If you need a technical support, go to upstream's issue page. It's OK because I'm also on the upstream issue page.

Not helpful but OK if you want to blame my system because it is easier that's fine. It isn't my system as it is a 1 week old install and all I did was run an update on the system and this package failed because it didn't download...but whatever.

@w9hdg Please fix your system first and try this again:

pacman -Syu
pacman -R obs-backgroundremoval obs-backgroundremoval-debug
yay -S obs-backgroundremoval

I've investigated on my Arch Linux and determined that there is a problem on your system.

"I've tested PKGBUILD again and it works without any problem. This should be a problem on your side."

I manually downloaded the tar.gz from github and placed it in the ~/.cache/yay/obs-backgroundremoval/ and then ran the update (yay -Syu) and it worked because the file was in the directory. I am wondering if the PKGBUILD is building the URL for the file incorrectly.
