    The moment I installed it, yay broke. To fix it, if any of you need this: do an ln -s to the .so that is being requested. This allows yay to work again. Use yay to upgrade yay. Finally remove the symbolic link.

      Can you do makepkg in the clone of yay PKGBUILD from aur? That seems like a better solution than symlinking…

        This is the correct thing to do when it breaks, recompile and link against the new libs. Otherwise you could see funny behaviour.

          That’s how you’re supposed to use AUR, I think. All yay, paru, etc do is make it convenient to do that while also helping with searching and upgrading them.
