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

As of version 12, why are all my AUR packages being rebuilt over and over?

Can anyone explain, why after yay update (v12.0.0-1) it asks to reinstall lots of programs with same version, e.g. one case is 83 packages but EOS notifier shows only 2 packages.... There are both own packages and also AUR packages. At the same time pacman does not show those packages (extra, community) needed to update, what yay shows... Just in case I will not do that huge reinstallation for now... I have already in two PC's such situation... Here is one example https://pastebin.com/Tim1wGKA

@sausix: It's fixed with gettext 0.21.1-5. See FS#78068

Looks like libxml2 is a required dependency.

msgfmt: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:132: po/de.mo] Error 127
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...

After switch to another Desktop Environment, I noticed that yay stopped working with the following error message.

failed to create directory '/yay': mkdir /yay: permission denied

Even yay --version and yay --help do not work.

After setting XDG_CACHE_HOME yay starts working again.

According the XDG specifications, the variable XDG_CACHE_HOME is not mandatory and each application should automatically fallback.

$XDG_CACHE_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user-specific non-essential data files should be stored. If $XDG_CACHE_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.cache should be used.

Source: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

Can you fix yay in a way that it won't fail on the missing XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable?

can you please add 'riscv64' to the supported architectures :)

@yochananmarqos Thanks! I did not have debugedit for some reasons. It was added to the base-devel group on 5/10/2022 ; that is why ;)

@HLFH: debugedit is a member of the base-devel group which is a requirement for using the AUR.

I think debugedit is a dependency. Can you add it?
