I am trying to install timeshift from the aur repository using yay -S timeshift and getting the error:
request failed: Get "https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc?arg%5B%5D=timeshift&type=info&v=5": read tcp 10.0.2.15:37894->72.52.10.14:80: read: connection reset by peer
A similar error is returned if I try to install some other apps e.g. deja-dup-git and octopi.
On the other hand, installing paru with this method worked ok, and featherpad looks like it would work too. I’m wondering what might be going on - perhaps some apps repos are simply not available right now?
Edit2: OK so it’s a bigger issue. I can’t git clone any repo without getting connection reset by peer. Yet I can ping github.com and browse using firefox.
I suspect it has nothing to do with which helper you are using or which package you are downloading and it’s success or failure is based more on timing.
It looks to me you are having trouble communicating with aur itself.
Insufficient user IQ error. I had cavalierly copied my .bashrc from a different distro into EOS and expected it to work. Something in there borked my command line web access. Restored the previous .bashrc and now we’re golden.
