you're better off contacting her via the github, this comments section is 90% "it's out of date" from people who didn't scroll down before posting

Why is not this PKGBUILD updated? The out of date flags were removed several times.

Wooow. Written in Rust. My hats off to you, sir.

It's also the highest-ranked pkg by the little aggressive "popularity" (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&SB=p&SO=d&PP=50&do_Search=Go) (aggressive, because its calculation is 0.98^[day], so e.g. after 35 days, the "vote" is already worth less than 0.5 a vote).

@attila123

Nothing serious, it's just the normal process when a popular library makes changes

  • alpm is pacman (a library of)
  • paru depends on pacman
  • pacman5 library name libalpm.so.12 changed to libalpm.so.13 in pacman6
  • an so on, on systems with pacman6, it is necessary to rebuild the products dynamically linked on pacman5.

You must be wondering but why did they change the name of the library. This is to force clients to rebuilt their dependent applications.

If they had not done this, the applications would crash in segmentation fault because of the functions which have changed in the library.

So finally, instead of having a segmentation fault that is difficult to understand, you have a nice message that tells you that libalpm.so.12 is missing.

A common approach to know from where the file is comming is to execute pacman/paru -F libalpm.so.12, you notice that libalpm.so.12 no longer officially exists, so you search by deduction for libalpm.so.13 and you find that it matches pacman.

Hi, not sure what is this alpm thing, but manually rebuilding paru helped.
Symptom: "paru: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" 

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git
cd paru
makepkg -si

After this it worked fine. Source of info: https://magyarlinux.hu/paru-yay-gyorsjavitas/ (well, it is in Hungarian)

Second the explicit dependency note:

depends=('pacman>=6')

As @johnnybash says it's just another error, but at least it is the right one early on so people don't get messed up with cryptic things later, and it gets the blame where it belongs.

johnnybash commented on 2021-06-02 12:23 (UTC)

depending on pacman 6 just gives you another error message.

there's really no solution but waiting for manjaro to catch up.

this build error for v1.7 is discussed in more detail here: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru/issues/391

it seems to affect the Manjaro distribution as it still uses pacman 5.2

I would suggest making explicit the dependency on pacman 6, i.e.:

@class101 Yeah, I'm on Manjaro Testing Branch so I'll have to wait a few days for the libalpm.so.13 update to roll out to my branch.

can confirm that the update from 1.6.2 to 1.70 solves the problem I was having, https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=paru&id=b4ac587bba5990ede9ea04e42d7d57a24a190271

@caleb:

... your system is out of date... run pacman -Syu

my system was not out of date, when posting this issue.

Everyone posting issues here on AUR with aur helpers like paru or yay,, makes sure that before posting:

  • They have the latest pacman version
  • Their system is up to date
  • They remove any previous versions or leftovers of yay or paru
