Just remember to alias it to ‘paru - - bottomup’ if you are used to yay’s display…

From a recent post here: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/pull/1685
From @Jguer (yay developer)
Everything seems to be fine, I’ve updated aur lib to use the same endpoints.
Expect a new release tomorrow
Great to see a fix being implemented so quickly (literally within a day), and now that the aurweb update has been held off for one month, yay will be working perfectly fine when that time comes up again on 4 March 2022.
I guess there’s nothing left to say, but… yay!

So what are they waiting for, why would the problem then be fixed? Somehow missed it in the discussion.
The problem would have been that, had the aurweb update not been reverted, that yay (and other affected AUR helpers) would have been unable to update itself for a fix. Many users would have had no idea how to update it, because they never learned how the AUR works, how makepkg works, etc.
Now they have a month grace period to get it fixed; from what was posted above, it looks like yay will be properly patched and a new release will be pushed by tomorrow.

Thanks for clarifying!

I see Joe typing - the yay included with EndeavourOS would not have had a problem, as it’s in the EOS repo, and so is not an AUR package on an Endeavour installation. The EOS team would have updated yay and pushed it to their users.

First the BTRFS bug and then YAY.

What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?
I already started watching pacman/Rosetta - ArchWiki (joke)
(I edited the face to default)
A slightly bigger problem.

Yeah, some of these new forum members have very descriptive names, for example:
Welcome to the forum, everyone!

Personally, I would’ve loved to have seen a really tongue in check name like “MyYayIsBauh”

Exactly what I was thinking, seems that someone was very thoughtful and planning on being an active forum member until the problem is solved.
Welcome all the Bros! Broh’s! Broses! 
I am also 
for a new name for myself. iftheresproblemswitchbuntuO'paru
I think some peps are really funny.
normally i’d just sit back and relax, Arch sorts itself up normally. but there was no word about this issue anywhere and I’ve googled it hard 
so I thought it’s not them, it’s me

yay has been updated. All I had to do is just reinstall yay and every works again.
yay hasn’t been updated just yet. the latest release was Jan 2022. What actually happened was an aurweb update broke some of the AUR helpers, so they decided to revert that change temporarily for one month in order to give some of the AUR helpers time to update to address this issue. Some AUR helpers are updated and some are in the process of updating. yay should have an update soon, but it’s not out just yet.

Agree with @Scotty_Trees ,
The yesterday’s update might have caused this.
Due to this I was unable to download some packages.
Alternatively, I used sudo pacman -S to download them, and it worked successfully.
You are hopefully aware that you cannot download AUR packages this way. Here is some additional resources that could be useful:
https://discovery.endeavouros.com/aur/yay-an-aur-helper-written-in-go/2021/03/
There are a couple of useful articles worth checking in discovery
You know, speaking of AUR helpers, I was considering doing a small, brief write up of all the current, up to date, and actively maintained AUR helpers out there. I haven’t used all of them extensively, so I can’t do like a full fledged post, but I can write about them objectively what they do over others, what they don’t do etc. It wouldn’t be a super detailed post, but I think it would cover the very basics of it though for the most part. Think the forums might like seeing something like that?
