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

Currently go dependencies are currently still stored in the default GOPATH, (usually a go directory in $HOME).

Please provide a custom $GOPATH variable to avoid contaminating home folders and building outside of srcdir.

Please add 'arm' to supported arch targets. Tested ok on a Tonido2.

Problem with go too:

Error making: yay

Update:

I uninstalled go then manualy removed * from /usr/lib/go then resintalled go and yay. Seems to have fixed the problem.

probably because of the new go version, I'll take a look at it

@hugo you need to install base-devel. This is assumed hence make is not a dependency.
