You can either patch the binary
sudo patchelf --replace-needed libalpm.so.14 libalpm.so.15 "$(which paru)"
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 updatedyay
/yay-bin
packages. Please just don’t symlink the libraries togetherWhy not? I already did it and it works great.
don’t tell me what to do!
I found a hack. Assuming you now have
libalpm.so.15
, just make a copy of it and rename it tolibalpm.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
Just update paru from source (exactly like the first time that you installed it)
