For the last couple of weeks I have been getting the following error when I run ‘yay -Syu’.
I am not clear on what the error is due to. Is the psc-package using an outdated signature for the linux64 file? Any help to fix it is appreciated.

I guess that this must be the case. You may circumvent this by using --mflags --skipinteg in yay. But you should be extra careful. If a sha1sums check fails there may be something wrong in this package.
@Bryanpwo or @joekamprad or some other mod: Could you move this to “General System”?
I uninstalled psc-package and ran ‘yay -Syu’ again. There are some packages flagged as missing or out of date. I tried reinstalling python-plotly, for example, but I still get the same message. Is there a way to fix this issue? Thanks.

Seems that those packages are not very well maintained. This is sometimes the case with AUR packages. You can (and maybe should) file a report to the appropriate AUR package page at aur.archlinux.org.
That’s why, as a general rule, a good thing to do is to remove as many AUR packages as possible.
hello, I am on the driver nvidia-390xx with each update of the kernel that bug, it is not better to pass on the version dkms, I wanted to have your opinion thank you
@joekamprad I am not clear on your question: ‘question is also what for you need this AUR builds?’ if it was addressed to me.
I use plotly for developing interactive web apps using python, and nerd-fonts-complete for a zsh prompt theme. I don’t directly need psc-package but it is probably listed as a dependency by another package as is also probably the case for python-sip-pyqt5 (for which there is no AUR package).
Thanks for the links. yay picks up ‘python-sip-pyqt5’ as a missing package, probably from an incorrect package dependency. ‘python-pyqt5-sip’ is in the Arch repos.
