Unable to update or install packages in pacaur

Hello All!

I have been using pacaur for a well over a year and have loved it. Yesterday, I started to run into an issue where I was unable to install or update any AUR packages using pacur. I looked online and didn't see anyone who was running into the same issue as I was. I have a gist that shows the output of:

bash -x pacaur -Syu

Does anyone have any suggestions for resolving this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Unable to update or install packages in pacaur

The 'chef' package seems to have an unresolvable dependency (it needs ruby-mime-types<2.0 while only version 2.1 is available in the [community] repo).
Until the maintainer fix the package, manual intervention is required.

Re: Unable to update or install packages in pacaur

Thank you so much for your help. Spyhawk, I found your previous post here. I tried using the --ignore flag with the chef and ruby-mime-types packages, but that didn't work. I finally went and manually installed the chef aur package and all its dependencies. Still, when I go to update my system with pacaur, it doesn't work. Here is the new output. Any further ideas?

Re: Unable to update or install packages in pacaur

Does cower work? What is the output (without bash debug stuff)?

Check with "cower -u" and/or "cower -du".

Note: for future issue if any, you'd better post in the main pacaur thread in which I'm subscribed. Since I get an email when someone post, I'll be able to answer without additional delay.
