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/](https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source.git/)’: The requested URL returned error: 403

If I go to the [Librewolf-bin AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/librewolf-bin) 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](http://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](http://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](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.
