Why does yay always ask me that?

Support AUR
1

Hello to all,

I don’t understand why, when I do yay, it always tells me that some packages (let’s take the zoom example) are not up to date.
Whereas when I do a yay -Sy zoom, it seems to tell me that it is already up to date.

Do you have an idea?
Thank you!

zoom has been flagged as out-of-date on the AUR website but has not yet been updated by the maintainer.

See:

You chose to use the AUR, so you should know what it means.

“Flagged out of date” means that someone flagged the package as out-of-date. The maintainer receives an email and is requested to update the package.

These has been deprecated and therefore removed from the repo.

When yay see’s files not in the official repo - it searches AUR - hence the message stating - these packages aren’t in AUR either.

Remove them as they are obsolete.

sudo pacman -Rns gtkhash-nautilus  manjaro-documentation-en  manjaro-dynamic-wallpaper  manjaro-firmware  noto-fonts-compat  vino

It’s a good thing we don’t have to master a technology perfectly to use it, otherwise most of the people wouldn’t use much :slight_smile:

Thanks for the answer anyway!

Okay, for that I get it! Thanks

I agree with Zoom. But for Android Studio for example?

@TuxJaro, it is something wrong with your yay-git installation.

I recommend you replace it with yay from the community repository:

sudo pacman -S yay

And you are not the only one with this problem:
