but I can see the PKGBUILD in GUI of pamac. What could I do?
The PKGBUILD does indeed exist… 
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=clion
Strange… 
Not saying this is the issue but isn’t it pamac build for the aur not pamac install?
maybe yay work try again as i tried it and it worked

Have you tried updating server mirrors?

But I still want to check what’s happened with pamac
This, this is extremely peculiar. Especially consideri8ng mine works perfectly:
$ pamac search clion-jre
clion-jre 1:2021.2.3-1 AUR
C/C++ IDE. Free 30-day trial.
And then:
$ pamac build clion-jre

So, this is strange. To put it mildly. The only thing I can think of that is could possibly be is the character encoding. Or something of the sort…
oh one thing i forgot to mention is i just installed clion, and then i found its jre package is essential so i tried to install it.
maybe some local cache folder is wrong? how could i find it
I suspect, the mirror has the issue. Can you change other mirror and test if it works?
I was just able to install both clion and clion-jre without a problem.
Try changing your mirrors.
sudo shiny-mirrors config -h
I don’t know if it’ll make a difference, but try using shiny-mirrors, because it’s really quite cool.
Then try installing clion-jre again and ssee what happens.

You don’t have to use AUR scripts as clion is part of Jetbrains toolbox.
Download the archive from CLion: A Cross-Platform IDE for C and C++ by JetBrains - unpack the archive and run the launcher from unpacked bin folder.
Or use the Toolbox App.
i removed clion and installed it with jre package in one time. now the environment to reproduce is gone.
