doesn't show AUR packages updates

[XilinJia]

It used to work, searching or showing outdated turn out AUR packages, but lately, none AUR packages show up. Not sure what happened.

I've been using Manjaro, lately there was a system update, so I'm running the most updated Manjaro.

I have:

Sorry, search AUR works (with the skull button). Outdated has no AUR packages.

➜  ~ pamac search yay | grep Installed
yay  12.5.7-1 [Installed]                                                  extra
➜  ~ pamac search octopi | grep Installed
alpm-octopi-utils  1.0.2-12 [Installed]                                    extra

Interestingly, I have the same issue, but only on my desktop.
It works on my Laptop.
Both run Manjaro and I thought I had configured them the same.

[Richardk2n]

I installed 0.18.1-1 from the AUR and it works again.

[XilinJia]

I tried to downgrade, to I guess, 0.18.1-1, but it doesn't run, missing some library.

[XilinJia]

downgraded to 0.18.1-1, and did:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libalpm.so.16 /usr/lib/libalpm.so.15

seems to run. not sure what damage it would cause.

even though the downgraded version runs, it still doesn't shown AUR updates, so perhaps the issue is with libalpm.so.16

[Richardk2n]

For me, the downgrade was enough.
We should have the same libalpm I think?

After downgrade, it's missing libalpm.so.15, so I linked the existing libalpm.so.16 onto it.

I ran:
sudo downgrade octopi

[Richardk2n]

Did not happen for me, but you (likely) have octopi 0.18.1 form the Manjaro repos, while I have octopi 0.18.1 from the AUR. This might not be the same.

[XilinJia]

Installed it from AUR (not a small build btw). At first time, it reported a conflict with:
/usr/lib/libalpm_octopi_utils.so
so I removed the one in the system, and installed it again and succeeded.

But unfortunately AUR updates shown on pamac are not shown on Octopi. Not sure what is going on.

Are the packages you don't see updates for -git packages?
Those seem to be handled differently from what I can tell.

no. all packages, the name with or without -git. for instance: zed-preview-bin
