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

Same for me, i use this for cleaning the orphan package but now i've got this error too

Hi :)

since upgrading to 10.2.0, I get

~ $ yay -Qqdt exit status 1

is this a regression? Or am I using it wrong (I want to recursively detect unneeded packages as part of my standard update procedure)?

@RidderJoris it looks like the date and time on your armv7 machine is way out of date, which lines up with the error message!

On armv7 I get the following error (after running yay -Syu):

error downloading sources: yay

On x86 it doesn't seem to be a problem

@marcin You may have had something installed that had gcc as a dependency, and removed it? You can try grep gcc /var/log/pacman.log to figure it out.

@RubenKelevra I have been using yay on this PC for over 1 years now. Just yesterday I got this error, so I have base-devel installed. Maybe most recent arch update removed it? I don't know.

@marcin it's user error. All AUR packages expect you to have base-devel installed.

Suddenly started getting the following error:

runtime/cgo
# runtime/cgo
cgo: exec /missing-cc: fork/exec /missing-cc: no such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:112: yay] Error 2

To solve the issue, installing gcc was enough:

sudo pacman -S gcc

Seems to be breaking all of a sudden in a clean chroot build by CI:

@jguer

Can you please make sudo an optional dependency (optdepends). In the light of the critical vulnerability in sudo some people may want to get rid of sudo on their systems and replace it with some alternatives like su, doas or pkexec.
