Librewolf won't update, I've tried clearing the cache and a clean install

General system Pacman & AUR helpers

I’m trying to update my AUR packages (I have a very small number from there), one of them being librewolf-bin

I get the following error when I enter in yay --aur

==> ERROR: Failure while downloading source git repo
Aborting…
→ error making: librewolf-bin-exit status 1
→ Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
librewolf-bin - exit status 1

Searching for that online, the suggestion seems to be to remove cache for that app. Which I did via: rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/librewolf-bin

Barring that, it suggested to do a clean install

Neither solved the issue

Does anyone have any tips?

Edit: Reading the terminal output a little more, there is another error:

fatal: unable to access ‘https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source.git/’: The requested URL returned error: 403

If I go to the Librewolf-bin AUR page, there is a comment saying codeberg is down right now. Maybe that’s the problem?

Try again a bit later and hope codeberg.org (whatever that site is) is up and running?

Edit 2: I really don’t know what I’m doing, but I can access codeberg.org, so is that comment on AUR correct?

The codeberg landing page seems to be working but the actual source page ( https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source.git#tag=153.0.1-1) is having issues; I’ve tried to access it several times in the last few minutes and sometimes it works, sometimes it loads slowly, sometimes it loads very slowly, sometimes it times out:

This is probably the issue. So if you wait a bit, occasionally retrying, I imagine you’ll get through eventually.

Might be related to this that made some people probably unhappy.
