Pamac not able to connect AUR database

[mirto]

Hi all,
in the last three days trying a pamac upgrade gives me the error : “Failed to synchronize AUR database”

What can I do?

Here the command log:

     ~  LANG=C sudo pamac upgrade                                                                                                                                                                        126 ✘

First off never use sudo with pamac.

Second, to use the AUR with pamac you should employ the --aur flag .

Third, you may wish to add --force-refresh as well.

Fourth, as you did use sudo you may need to delete the build directory.

Thanks a lot. It worked.

BTH why pamac don’t need sudo?

Command output:

BTH why pamac don’t need sudo?

It uses polkit if/when necessary to elevate privileges.

Using root/sudo will break the permissions of the build directory.

Ok. Thanks a lot
