makepkg and yay stuck at copying source files needed for debug symbols
When trying to install anaconda, using both makepkg -si and yay results in a never ending loading saying
-> Copying source files needed for debug symbols
under ==> Tidying install...

Re: makepkg and yay stuck at copying source files needed for debug symbols
Never? How long did you wait? Do you even need / want debug packages?

Re: makepkg and yay stuck at copying source files needed for debug symbols
I've waited for like 10 minutes, but it gets stuck at the same place for smaller packages too.
I don't really need debug but i just want the package the be installed and work (obviously lol)
I don't have these issues when using pacman.

Re: makepkg and yay stuck at copying source files needed for debug symbols
I also encountered this problem. I don't know the reason. It seems that not all packages have problems. Since I don't need this function either, I just removed "strip" and "debug" from OPTIONS=() in the /etc/makepkg.conf file and it worked.
on my system, it was changed from
OPTIONS=(strip docs !libtool !staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge debug lto)
to
OPTIONS=(docs !libtool !staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge lto)

Re: makepkg and yay stuck at copying source files needed for debug symbols
Explicitly disabling debug would be better than removing the option.
Can I have an example of a package that fails so that I can investigate?

Re: makepkg and yay stuck at copying source files needed for debug symbols
Same here... was stuck on "Copying source files needed for debug symbols..."
Had to add '!debug' to options to bypass
AUR package is google-cloud-cli-510.0.0-1

Re: makepkg and yay stuck at copying source files needed for debug symbols
I investigated the google-cloud-cli package.It is not stuck... it is just investigating the 50,000 files in the package and checking if they are ELF formatted. This takes some time. We could probably do some file name patching and speed this up, but always at the risk of false positive skips.
