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.

@marcelroed I had the same problem, downgraded to pacman 5.x instead of having a pacman 6 pre-release installed and it was fine.

With pacman 6 arriving a rebuild of yay will be necessary, if you upgrade pacman without upgrading yay at the same time, yay will not run after. I'm bumping the pkgrel so it shows up on the upgrade list (and will do so when pacman transitions from staging->core)

In case you end up with a non-functioning yay after the upgrade:

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

A recent upgrade in gcc-go seems to require a yay rebuild, but yay is incapable of rebuilding itself:

yay: error while loading shared libraries: libgo.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Downloading the PKGBUILD and building/installing manually resolves this issue.

Using yay to update yay (10.2.1-1 -> 10.2.2-1) I get this error for some reason. I have the latest version of Go. What could be going wrong here? I've tried clearing the cache and retrying.
