[SOLVED] pacman works - yay does not

I just tried to update using yay as I do every morning. I got the following…

[wombat@endeavouros ~]$ yay
[sudo] password for wombat:

So I tried pacman and it worked…

[wombat@endeavouros ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu

 endeavouros is up to date
 core is up to date

Tried yay afterwards, same yay error as shown above.

:thinking:

I’m not seeing this on my end using yay, but the error is from the aur side. Likely one of the aur packages not found or temporary down.

That was it. Appimage Launcher was the culprit. Thanks for the quick response!
