Hi
So I tried installing yaourt via the command, sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git wget yajl
And it broke pacman. So i now get this error, pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

One of the solutions I found was to download openssl-3.0.7-4-x86_64.pkg from a repository and take the libcrypto.so.3 file from there and add it to /usr/lib64 and give it all permissions. Im not sure if that will work plus I am unable to copy or move files to /usr/lib64

This is the link for the above solution I tried : Pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.3 - #5 by Aragorn - Support - Manjaro Linux Forum

Is this the only way to fix pacman? I am using Garuda Dragonised. Garuda Assistant fails and gives the same error as above, pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Use last working snapshot.
Install pikaur-git.

Thank you for your fast reply, using the last working snapshot solved the issue with the broken pacman. :slight_smile:

Thanks was looking for a yay alternative since it’s dead now.

Just a hint, Garuda use paru

garuda-update -a

--aur/-a | UPDATE_AUR=1 |Update AUR packages via paru/yay after system update.

If you remember I hate paru and always change it out for yay.

Now that you mention. :smiley:

Before I end up like the OP and break something can you please where is the garuda-update.conf file? I found the below but nothing at the location it points to. I did a search and of the two neither were what I was looking for when I opened them and looked for both paru and yay. Thanks

A config file can be created at /etc/garuda/garuda-update/config that can contain the environment variables in the following format:

sudo micro /etc/garuda/garuda-update/config

If empty, fill with your settings.

A config file can be created at /etc/garuda/garuda-update/config that can contain the environment variables in the following format:
SKIP_MIRRORLIST=1
UPDATE_AUR=1

/usr/bin/garuda-update sources /usr/lib/garuda/garuda-update/main-update which in turn sources /etc/garuda/garuda-update/config if it exists.

There doesn’t seem to be an option for the AUR helper, paru is tried first and then yay if not found.

Out of curiosity (serious question), what makes you hate paru and love yay, considering that paru is basically a rust rewrite of yay? Is it missing something that yay does?
An older post of yours suggest you don’t want to review the PKGBUILDs: --skipreview.
And man paru.conf: SkipReview.

Thanks guys.

I have a couple of packages from the AUR where I know the creator and trust him so I bypass reviewing the build files. The issue with paru I’ve run into is when I tell it no to reviewing the files it just hangs there and goes no further. With yay or pikaur I can just hit enter and they move on to building and installing the app.

Looks like you’re right I don’t need to edit garuda-update. I only have pikaur in and garuda-update -a ran just fine. Told me it was going to use yay for the helper, but since yay isn’t installed it had to be using pikaur.

And yes SGS I edited pacseek’s config file. :crazy_face:
