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.

"make" is missing on makedepends, got an error on a fresh install.

On-topic: I've noticed with other packages yay is importing a single GPG key just fine. Could the problem be multiple GPG keys?

Off-topic: @fightcookie; maybe walk the talk? How is you bulky comment not off-topic and without new information? The way I see it is this comment section is the place where end users help each other out to get a particular software working. I can't always tell the difference between a packaging or a software bug.

@MindfulConsumer I am subscribed to comments to this aur package, so off-topic comments are kind of distracting and wasting my time (I'm surely not the only one subscribed). Also, these kinds of comments led @jguer to disable comments to this package (according to their pinned message), which is unfortunate I think for support of the package since they are the maintainer currently! It is totally ok of you to boycott GitHub, but please consider only posting packaging related bugs here, to keep the comments readable by everyone interested without being overwhelmed by off topic things :)

MindfulConsumer commented on 2020-01-19 13:27 (UTC)

@swm and @jguer: sadly I had to conclude github should be on my boycott list, I refuse to create an account there. I can manually import the gpg keys without problems with "gpg --recv-keys <key>" and continue installing.

@iTanguy and @MindfulConsumer: Seeing jguer's pinned comment from 2019-04-16, you should probably go to the upstream issue tracker, see if the problem has already been reported there and do so if not.

@MindfulConsumer: yay uses sudo which may ask for your user password to execute actions as root (if not already done so in the last x minutes, depending on your sudo configuration). Otherwise it should not ask for passwords. The "permission denied" error you see is from gpg trying to get the keys from a server, which has nothing to do with your local user accounts. (I think yay's usage of gpg will also import the keys to your own gpg keyring, which does not belong to root and does not need sudo usage.) An issue with the same gpg error message has been reported upstream, which might help you solve your problem: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/656

I'm pretty sure yay is supposed to ask me for a password here:

License information should be more accurate. I am no packaging expert nor lawyer, just a user who cares about FOSS.

  1. GPL license version used is GLP v3.0, for License should be set to GPL3
  2. The "go-alpm" module is under MIT license, so it should be added to the "License" field (becoming "GPL3 MIT")
  3. the MIT license file should be added to /usr/share/licenses/yay/

EDITED: My apologies, I had installed custom patches for go, so they made the yay package unbuildable. I am also sorry for reporting the bug here, but not at the upstream! Have a nice day.

...

Hey, I would like to notify this package doesn't build on my workstation anymore! Does this issue apply to someone else's setup?

@nsmcclellan thanks. To whoever marked as out of date, please leave a comment as to why you are marking something out of date. Thanks!

nsmcclellan commented on 2020-01-13 22:36 (UTC)

I didn't flag it, but it was likely flagged because it IS technically out of date: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/releases (just be patient - github release was yesterday; this will likely be resolved soon)
