Yay error with any package

General system EndeavourOS repo
1

hi

today i decided to move from xfce to kde after a few months with xfce. so i downloaded the new iso from the website and i installed kde without any problems until i tried to install different stuff with yay in the terminal.

pic of the error https://i.imgur.com/LfYbQzn.jpg
this error happening with any package install that i try to do.

so, i’m not a linux pro or even a little good with it so i did the only thing i know without breaking my head, i did a new install with gnome and the same error in any package, so i tried a different distro with arcolinux and the same error.

my question is If this happens to other people? right now? because the only logical things is that it’s a problem with yay. i did try to change the countries in the mirror update in the welcome windows of endeavour and nothing works.

it’s my first time on the forum so sorry if this post is in the wrong place

Did you try installing with

sudo pacman -Syu psensor

instead?

3

yes, it work but not everything i need exist in pacman from what i saw for example when i tried to search for green with envy with this pacman -Ss gwe the package is not there and i need that for oc for gaming.

If you need packages from AUR, you could use paru instead of yay and see if it works better than yay momentarily.

how do i install paru? i’m not that good with linux and yay worked for the few months with xfce so i did not use anything else

6 
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git
cd paru
makepkg -si

Source.

PKG-Info on AUR.

Not sure if it even exists in the EnOS repos as pacman-package like yay.

I searched through the yay issues on Github (open and closed), but couldn’t find a similar one. So it’d be interesting to know, what causes the issue on your machine.

Oops, my bad, I was meaning to answer to @neah , the OP. :v:

An AUR package. . . built w/o an AUR helper?!?!

I still think we shouldn’t even ship yay. . . everyone should have to build at least one.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised the other day, finding out this ‘little secret’ by accident… :wink:

Now that even paru (next to yay) is delivered by EnOS as a simple (pacman-installable) repo-package, I start wondering, what else may there be? :rofl:

Certainly, this must have been done for ease-of-use, in case yay for example one day breaks (again)…?
