Access to AUR

General system Pacman

Hi,

Due to some yet unresolved network quirk, I can’t use AUR:

~> yay -Ss rshell
 -> Error during AUR search: 1 error occurred:
	* request failed: Get "https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc?arg=rshell&by=name-desc&type=search&v=5": dial tcp 95.216.144.15:443: i/o timeout



 -> Showing repo packages only
extra/python-click-completion 0.5.2-9 (23.0 KiB 91.3 KiB)
    Add or enhance bash, fish, zsh and powershell completion in Click
~>

By any chance, is there an alternate way to access AUR via yay?

The reason is the AUR server was likely down at the time you tried it. It happens from time to time, but fortunately not very often.
It seems to work now.

3

Maybe Manjaro ddosed it again :rofl:

Possibly.
But servers are such things that can sometimes be down for a while, e.g. for maintenance. Usually it lasts only a short time.

5

Unfortunately, this is my personal. I know.

6

Is it really possible?

7

happened only once

server today might be down due to maintenance

8

Surely it hadn’t been on maintenance yesterday? Or the day before yesterday? Or a week ago?

Whatever may happen to aur.archlinux.org, I’ve got something special.

9

Could have happened twice, but the second time the Anti-Pamac Killswitch was already in place.

10

Can you access that link from your browser?

11

No, I can’t.

12

It works for me, what error you see?

can you ping aur.archlinux.org

~> ping -c 3 aur.archlinux.org

14

so what do you see in your browser?
also try wget https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc?arg=rshell&by=name-desc&type=search&v=5

15

It’s happened twice before but it’s working here. It sounds to me like a DNS problem. Try clearing your DNS cache details here

16

This site can’t be reached.

17

try to download the link with wget or curl and paste the output

also try traceroute aur.archlinux.org
