Not able to install ghcup-hs-bin #86
Description
I’ve switched to an in-house yay wrapper to use this collection, but I’m unable to get my existing installs running and am completely lost. I’m not sure if the issue is on my end (probably is)
I'm trying to install ghcup-hs-bin with the following config:
- name: Install ghcup from AUR
kewlfft.aur.aur:
name: ghcup-hs-bin
state: presentBut it always fails with:

yay usually doesn’t require sudo, but when I run yay -S --noconfirm --needed ghcup-hs-bin manually, it still prompts me for my password. Running the full yay with sudo fails because makepkg does not allow sudo.
