…but now I wonder. If debug is not used, why does it even matter if it is on a different version? I do know that uninstalling and reinstalling the main app is NOT the fix. I tried that first.
Deleting the config folder did not work in my case.
It seems your issue is resolved now, however just to clarify: you probably don’t want the -debug version installed in the first place.
At some point there was an upstream change which enabled debugging in /etc/makepkg.conf by default. If the user does not change it back, they will get an error message warning that debugedit is not installed when they try to install something with Yay. However, installing debugedit is not necessary, and is in fact most likely not what most users will want.
To get the behavior back to “normal”, the debugging option must be disabled. To do this, open /etc/makepkg.conf in an editor, navigate down to the line that starts with OPTIONS= and put an exclamation mark in front of debug so it looks like this: “!debug” The whole line will be something like this:
OPTIONS=( ... blah blah blah blah ... !debug ...)
Makes sense.
I disabled debug.
If you don’t need the megasync-debug, remove the package. Likely this has instrumentation and more logging to help support figure out customer issues. How’d you get this on your system?
They got it from Arch. If you reinstall many Arch distros now, you’ll get it too, whether you want/need it or not.
