Aura conflicts with pacman and can't see already installed packages

[reggermont]

Recently, I found out aura -Ayu doesn't update my packages anymore. It exits after the Fetching package information... step and provide no informations, not even debug logs :

> sudo aura -A --sysupgrade --log-level debug
AuraConfig {acLang = Nothing, acEditor = Nothing, acUser = Nothing, acBuildPath = Nothing, acASPath = Nothing, acVCSPath = Nothing, acAnalyse = Nothing}

aura >>= Fetching package information...

So I tried to force an update of aura by running aura -Ay aura-bin, and aura want to install git and pacman:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
aura >>= Determining dependencies...

aura >>= Repository dependencies:
git
pacman
aura >>= AUR Packages:
aura-bin
aura >>= Continue? [Y/n] 

ofc they are already installed, so if I answer Y, aura tries to install them but find already-existing files

aura >>= Continue? [Y/n] Y
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Tried to build aura from source and install it again, but the issue stays the same.

• OS: Arch Linux
• Apps versions: Pacman v6.0.1 - libalpm v13.0.1 - AURA Version 3.2.9

Thanks for the report. I'll be making an initial release of the Aura 4 rewrite very soon. That should fix your issues.

[reggermont]

Thanks for the answer, looking forward to test that 😄

Give it a shot!

cargo install aura-pm --version 4.0.0-alpha3

Someone need to make a PKGBUILD for aura-rust

[fosskers]

Yup! This is definitely my responsibility. I was out of town this weekend and this week coming up is also busy, but I'll do my best
