AUR Installation with yay fails

I tried to install AUR-package "etcher-bin" via "yay -S etcher-bin" - there's never been problems with that method

now I got:

==> leaving fakeroot environment.
==> finished make: etcher-bin 1.10.1-1 (Mi 23 Nov 2022 11:13:28 CET)
==> Cleaning up...
Error: Installation-reason for etcher-bin could not be set (Could not find or read package)

(Sorry if this translation is not correct sad )

Did also try with AUR-package "balena-etcher" - same error (with another package from dependencies). I've deleted unused packages, dependencies, updated packages... didn't help

Would be grateful for hints/help what might be the reason. It's not that I need Etcher (because I did it with dd in the meantime) but I would like to understand the reason for that behaviour...

Thank you!

Re: AUR Installation with yay fails

Reads like https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=281416 did you install yay-git instead of yay for some reason?

Yes, obviously I installed yay-git... don't know why, I'm new to Arch Linux for some months (and love it btw) and installed the yay-git... Everything worked fine in the past, but I read that this problem occured with the last yay-git update...

So I will change to yay instead with:

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

?

Install yay following these steps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_U … g_packages

Re: AUR Installation with yay fails

Did install yay (instead of yay-git) but still the same error...

==> Leaving fakeroot environement.
==> finished make: etcher-bin 1.10.1-1 (Mi 23 Nov 2022 16:34:18 CET)
==> Cleaning up..
error: could not set install reason for package package-name (could not find or read package)

Re: AUR Installation with yay fails

Will it install with manual steps?:
Install etcher-bin following these steps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_U … g_packages

(etcher-bin successfully installed here... I'm using pikaur)

Re: AUR Installation with yay fails

Builds and installs perfectly here using makepkg and pacman.

Have you tried it using the more fundamental tools?

Edit:  Sorry d.ALT, I had not followed your link and I basically repeated your advice.  But, I did confirm it works.

Re: AUR Installation with yay fails

1. don't use yay
2. don't use yay
3. don't use yay
4. pacman -Qs yay
5. don't use yay
6. don't follow idiotic tutorials that tell you to use yay
7. don't follow even more idiotic tutorials that tell you to use yay-git
8. don't use yay (you just, hopefully, managed to install yay from the AUR w/o using yay)
9. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

If you really have the non-git version installed and for some weird reason insist on using yay, please post the entire build output (in code tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode )
