    You can either patch the binary

    sudo patchelf --replace-needed libalpm.so.14 libalpm.so.15 "$(which paru)"

    Or install paru-git

    sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru-git.git
cd paru-git
makepkg -si

    Or do both, patch the binary, then use it to install paru-git (which is what i did)

    Where were you when yay/paru was kill

    I was at home trying to yay when:

    yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    No

    For now you can either use paru-git, or the already updated yay/yay-bin packages. Please just don’t symlink the libraries together

    I found a hack. Assuming you now have libalpm.so.15, just make a copy of it and rename it to libalpm.so.14:

    cp /usr/lib/libalpm.so.15 /usr/lib/libalpm.so.14

    Edit: It’s not a permanent one and it works for the time being, can’t see the reason for the downvotes honestly.

      It’s just a bad idea in general. A better option would be to patch the binary to use 15. They both have the issue of forcing paru to work with a library it wasn’t explicitly designed for, but symlinking (or copying) 15 to 14 forces the hack to be “system wide” instead of restricted to a single binary

      as well, your solution is “temporary” only if you remember to fix it, vs patching which is (by default) overwritten the next time paru is updated

      it “works”, but it’s not something i’d recommend someone else do
