[SOLVED] AUR Helpers Not Working

atticarch · 2024-02-06 10:16:08

Not sure why in the slightest, but AUR helpers have stopped working entirely for me. I tried to install something with yay, and got this same sort of behavior the first time. Figured it might just be something wrong with yay, so I installed paru, but paru, too, does the same thing. Pacman works just fine. Ran sudo pacman -Syu and -Syy to check for updates. Still not working.

Anyone know a solution or a work-around?

Here's a log of me trying to install 7zip:

I have to Ctrl+C by this point because it just sits like this. I can use the arrow keys to pan the screen if some of the text goes off the sides (and to go up and down, of course).

Just

==> Diffs to show?
==> [N]one [A]ll [Ab]ort [I]nstalled [No]tInstalled or (1 2 3, 1-3, ^4)
==> N

(NOT recommended!!)

Or exit by pressing q on your keyboard
(better: you'd always have a look at PKGBUILDs and ther diffs before installing from AUR!)

You need to "pan" to the end and press enter. You see a diff view and if that gets past your terminal size you can follow it along with further "Return" presses (and you should, AUR packages should get their PKGBUILDs inspected by you so that you're sure they don't do anything malicious) and press Return at the end.

Alternatively q to quit out of that and just accept whatever. In essence you're in a paged view of the git changes related to the package, which afaik defaults to more: https://man.archlinux.org/man/more.1

Technically not an AUR issue, keeping it here.

I see. Thank you both very much: works perfectly fine now. I thought diffs were "different possible packages", and that inputting "A" would allow me to select the ones I wanted (with N just installing the default/common). My apologies.
