       AUR broken? You're not alone.ArchLinux updated the AUR API and the old URLs don't work anymore. This is a bit awkward, as your AUR helper now can't get access it and can't even update itself any longer. This means you will have to manually intervene to resolve this situation 😕If you're using yay, here's a quick fix that patches your old binary:sudo sed -i 's:rpc.php:rpc////:g' /usr/bin/yay

       @fribbledom I've never used a helper. I think the wiki also advised against them, and it really does not take that long to install something by hand. And I do take a peek at PKGBUILD before makepkg.Downside is that when you have lot of AUR packages, updating them by hand one by one can take time.

       @jkoski I also don't use a helper anymore. The only annoyance is havong to do dependency resolution manually for big packages.

       Apparently this was a bit of an accident, and they will roll out a release in the next hours that temporarily fixes this:https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2022-February/036787.html

       @Bubu Ah yes I forgot about that.. It can become annoying especially when one dependency is also an AUR package that may have its own dependencies to resolve.

       @jkoski @fribbledom you can do it by hand, but that doesn't build dependencies for you, clean up build deps afterwards, etc. I only build manually when yay fails .. which happens
