ArchLinux: problems with yay after system upgrade

Other Distributions
9

Hi Neville, :wave:

thanks for your latest comments.

I could finally solve the problem, thanks to your hint to debugedit.

Here´s what I did:

  • sudo pacman -R yay # uninstall old yay installation
  • sudo pacman -S debugedit
  • sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel
  • git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
  • cd yay
  • makepkg -si

(partly from: Yaourt is Dead! Use These Alternatives for AUR in Arch Linux)

It worked well and yay is getting along well with libalpm.so.14 now. Phew. :wink:

All yay commands work as expected again. :wink:

It took me quite a while to deal with the libalpm issue.
My internet research led me to believe that debugedit was part of the elfutils package.
Perhaps it was at some time but apparently it isn´t anymore.
I installed elfutils but libalpm was still misssing.

@nevj´s hinting to it saved the day. Thanks a lot, Neville. :heart:

Many greetings from Rosika :slightly_smiling_face:

P.S.:

Thanks for your comments on Guix.
