I keep getting error: could not set install reason for package package-name (could not find or read package) when trying to install any package from the AUR. Tried -Syu and -Syyu with no success. Any ideas?

Learn how the AUR works with native tooling before relying on helpers.

i've got the same issue on my new install today.
i ran
sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -si
to reinstall yay, which fixed it for me
hope this helps you

There is no way that that set of commands was the solution to "the same issue". If you didn't have yay installed you didn't have a problem running yay. And in any case, the solution here is first to stop using yay - so commands to install it are not a step in that direction.

i know what my mistake was.
i follow the tutorial at https://www.tecmint.com/install-yay-aur … d-manjaro/
which installed "yay-git" - maybe there is something broken
with this version of yay, i indeed had exactly that issue, that all packages from aur wont build/install
the command in my last post was directly from the git repo/readme at https://github.com/Jguer/yay
which installs "yay"

Rather than read the excellent community provided documentation on the wiki, I read some stupid blog post on a clickbait site and wondered why shit wouldn't work...
FTFY.

Oh dear. Why follow an online tutorial that says usage of yay includes running with sudo, when yay itself tells you not to do that. such a fundamental error should steer you far away from their guidance.

Not exactly a mistake, however the issue ocurred with the latest 'yay-git' update. Switched too to 'yay' manually and that did it. Fixed.
