sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel

cd paru
makepkg -si

After the latest upgrade of pacman, probably.

Yes, Pacman 7.0.0 updated the Arch Linux Package Management (alpm) shared object to version 15.

This has also been reported in #1239 and #1240.

The fix is to use paru-git instead as the master branch builds correctly against libalpm v15

[FeralSmurf]

Thanks for your kind patience, Sir! Apologies for not being able to see the previous posts.

Any idea when paru-git will be updated to the main/master branch? In the meanwhile, I use yay, they seem to get along pretty nicely together.

[BrenekH]

Because paru-git is a -git package, it should pull the latest commit from master automatically. If you're having issues, there are a couple other PKGBUILDS in 1239 that were made with the libalpm update in mind that you can try.

My bad, I asked the wrong question. I wanted to know who long it takes for paru, not paru-git, to be back in the AUR.

Ah ok. That I have no clue. It depends on when the Paru maintainers decide to cut a new release, which could be in a couple minutes or a couple days (hopefully not weeks or longer 🤞).

paru (AUR) doesn't compile:

All this from a fresh install.

The only solution I can find is to install paru-bin (AUR) Flagged Out Of Date 😭

No idea if this is the case for you or not, but before attempting builds that require rust, if you use rustup, ensure that you've run rustup update before attempting to do the makepkg. I've just seen cases where rust updates have fixed compile errors.

Current git code compiled for me. My rustup default is also set to stable (rustc 1.81.0) and I ended up with a paru-git 2.0.3.rebuild.1.r20.g5893055-1
