It is better to copy and paste the output here than post a picture. What did you say when it asked if you wanted to clean build it?

OK try to see if it will clean build. Take [A]ll.

Is the same as before. I haven´t any problem to install pamac-aur.

Actually it is not just you I can not build it here either. The package may be broken at the moment.

Looks like manjaro gitlab did not work correctly when you try to build it? I don’t speak german, but deepl.com told me: “You are not on any branch”.

Try again now, it will work… Well, I hope so!

Here is what I get:

error merging pamac-aur-git: fatal: No current branch.

Manually cloning it from gitlab works fine.

I have pamac-aur-git installed on all of my computers. While it continues to function as it always has, it will not update.

I get the message: error merging pamac-aur-git: fatal: No current branch.

Does anyone else get this message too? It is happening on all of my computers.

I can only assume that whatever is wrong is not being corrected right now due to the holidays but I do hope that the problem(s) will be fixed soon.

I do wish everyone a Happy & HEALTHY New Year.

I just built and installed timeshift with no issues.

The pamac-aur-git repo is broken with commit 1ce1c41 - maintainer has somehow added a commit which is not on a named branch, and so makepkg won’t find it.

This is up to @FredBezies to fix.

(Aside: It’s also completely unnecessary to bump the pkgver of a -git package for each upstream release. The whole point of a VCS package with a pkgver() function is to do that automatically when the package is rebuilt.)

These are all repo packages. It is concerning that pacman can’t find them.

They are there and can be found just not via this pamac-aur-git package.
