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.

This package no longer (at least from 10.0.0, probably earlier) builds a PIE executable.

Please see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Go_package_guidelines

@MiniKoala: Just type "yay" as a normal user. Yay will ask for the sudo password, then update all repo packages and all AUR packages, including itself.

RubenKelevra commented on 2020-06-14 04:06 (UTC)

@MiniKoala

use your regular user and give sudo permissions as necessary.

yay will run as user and only use root permissions for installation.

Hello, I have a question. I'm new to Arch, I'm from Slackware ^^ this is the first update of an AUR package that I have to execute, I would like to know how should I do it? I read that it is not recommended to use YAY with root, so how to apply updates with yay and what permissions do I have to grant to my user to perform them? Thank you!

@gui_user yes it does. It's just a wrapper for the usual tooling you would use to build packages.

If you for example change the compression in makepkg.conf and you build a package with yay, it will change the compression for them.

gui_user commented on 2020-05-30 15:15 (UTC)

I was wondering, does yay respect the settings in /etc/makepkg.conf?
