Checking which aurs needs updating when a shared library gets updated

I noticed that more often than not, when I upgrade some shared library in pacman, then some aur would break and needs recompilation. Is there a way to fix this?

Re: Checking which aurs needs updating when a shared library gets updated

Yes. Recompile the aur package…?

Since your subject seems to imply a different question, you could segment the update process.

pacman -Sy # update database
pacman -Quq # at this point you get a list of packages that will be updated
pacman -Qmq # prints AUR/non repo packages
pactree -rl <package> # prints all packages that depend on a certain package
# magic bash script you want to write here, comparing some outputs and not abusing cats
pacman -Su # update package
