Re: Problem with switching to aurutils from yay

Hello,

i had to remove the Solved thing from the post because somehow its not solved. When i run:

aur sync -c <packagename>

it runs into following error:

error: config file /etc/pacman.d/aur could not be read: No such file or directory

I checked the code which should be correct. Also the permissions are right and i dont have SElinux enabled. What could be the issue?
Here the code of /etc/pacman.d/aur

SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = file:///var/cache/pacman/aur

[options]
CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg
CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/aur
CleanMethod = KeepCurrent

Re: Problem with switching to aurutils from yay

strace -f -e %file aur sync -c <packagename>

reveals

[pid 84437] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/pacman.d/aur", O_RDONLY) = 4

which indicates that is is opened correctly, so i dont understand why it still fails. I would say its a code error in my aur file but i dont see it
