yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory #1087

qazip · 2019-10-23T18:03:12Z

I am having the following issue, when running yay:

yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How should I fix this?

You can use the initial installation method of yay, @gouvinb has it well summarized if you want to understand it #1084 (comment)

This can be applied to your prefered flavor yay, yay-gitor yay-bin.

yay-bin

# Remove yay for update 
sudo pacman -R yay
# Install yay from git
cd /tmp
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git
cd yay-bin
makepkg -si
cd ..
# clean /tmp folder
rm -rf yay-bin

yay

# Remove yay for update 
sudo pacman -R yay
# Install yay from git
cd /tmp
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
cd ..
# clean /tmp folder
rm -rf yay

EDIT: corrected yay -R
EDIT2: Applies only to Arch Linux and not derivatives such as Manjaro.

qazip · 2019-10-23T19:42:53Z

You cannot do "yay -R yay" because that requires yay, which does not work ;).

LinuxUserGD · 2019-10-23T19:46:24Z

sudo pacman -R yay or yay-bin/yay-git

Jguer · 2019-10-23T21:14:12Z

You're right 😄 , I've fixed it and I'm glad you got it fixed as well

nivaca · 2019-10-24T14:11:38Z

I can re-install it in the way described, but when I try to run yay I still get this error:

yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(note the version 12 number)

Morganamilo · 2019-10-24T14:44:00Z

Did you maybe leave out the crucial detail that you're running manjaro or other derivative and hence are on an old pacman version?

nivaca · 2019-10-24T17:35:31Z

Did you maybe leave out the crucial detail that you're running manjaro or other derivative and hence are on an old pacman version?

Yeah, in the new issue I created, I did mention it.

shyaminayesh · 2019-11-03T14:55:31Z

try reinstalling yay using git repo.

sudo pacman -Rnsc yay
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg
sudo pacman -U yay-9.4.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz // <- replace with your file name

That's it 👍

JoveYu · 2021-06-01T06:22:28Z

you can use cached repo

cd ~/.cache/yay/yay
git pull
makepkg -si

jasek5 · 2021-06-01T17:46:43Z

You cannot do "yay -R yay" because that requires yay, which does not work ;).

For me it actually worked :D

nicktindall · 2021-06-01T23:34:18Z

This started happening for me out of the blue yesterday, when I tried to follow the instructions here I got

:: yay-bin and pacman are in conflict (libalpm.so). Remove pacman? [y/N]

RafaelAmauri · 2021-06-02T01:22:38Z

This started happening for me out of the blue yesterday, when I tried to follow the instructions here I got
:: yay-bin and pacman are in conflict (libalpm.so). Remove pacman? [y/N]

It also started happening to me and the fix was to just run pacman -Rns yay and uninstall it.

Then I cloned the yay git repo and installed the package build. All's working now

nicktindall · 2021-06-02T01:34:46Z

Interestingly manually installing yay works, but yay-bin says it conflicts with pacman

I think it's covered here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay-bin/#pinned-808723

krishicks · 2021-06-02T14:24:08Z

I had to run makepkg -Cfsi to get it to rebuild properly.

  -C, --cleanbuild Remove $srcdir/ dir before building the package
  -f, --force      Overwrite existing package
  -s, --syncdeps   Install missing dependencies with pacman
  -i, --install    Install package after successful build

Berkmann18 · 2021-06-21T21:04:02Z

Doing @JoveYu's approach with @krishicks suggestion fixed it for me.
Thank you both!

qiolol · 2021-07-03T17:45:47Z

Same!

cd ~/.cache/yay/yay
git pull
makepkg -Cfsi

did the trick. ❤️

可以使用yay的初始安装方法，@gouvinb如果你想了解的话，总结得很好吗#1084（评论）

这可以应用于您喜欢的口味yay，yay-git或yay-bin。

亚彬
# Remove yay for update 
sudo pacman -R yay
# Install yay from git
cd /tmp
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git
cd yay-bin
makepkg -si
cd ..
# clean /tmp folder
rm -rf yay-bin
耶
# Remove yay for update 
sudo pacman -R yay
# Install yay from git
cd /tmp
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
cd ..
# clean /tmp folder
rm -rf yay
编辑：更正yay -R EDIT2：仅适用于 Arch Linux，不适用于 Manjaro 等衍生版本。

thank you！

i needed to run

sudo pacman -Rns yay-git-debug

yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You can fix the error simply by sudo pacman -Suy, pacman will update and the error will disappear.

i obv tried that and did not work. I had to reinstall yay like described

BlueskyFR · 2024-03-18T08:48:10Z

Happening again on Manjaro, all the above did not fix it :(

M8850 · 2024-03-19T18:19:14Z

Happening again on Manjaro, all the above did not fix it :(

at which step it fails? have you uninstalled both yay and yay-debug?

anwarsfaizul · 2024-03-20T00:21:16Z

can confirm on archlinux.

LinuxUserGD · 2024-03-20T00:28:22Z

can confirm on archlinux.

Is it the same error message from 2019: "error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.11" when building yay-git from source, see #1087 (comment) ?

anwarsfaizul · 2024-03-20T00:31:42Z

yay -Syu
yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

LinuxUserGD · 2024-03-20T00:42:21Z

See #2393, symlinking with cd /usr/lib/ && ln -s libalpm.so.14 libalpm.so.13 might also work

M8850 · 2024-03-20T05:48:39Z

1
sudo pacman -Rns yay yay-debug
2
reinstall yay according to instructions

where does it fail for you?

bugb · 2024-03-20T10:35:15Z

See #2393, symlinking with cd /usr/lib/ && ln -s libalpm.so.14 libalpm.so.13 might also work

Thanks, it works for me!

callumjg · 2024-04-04T02:49:25Z

See #2393, symlinking with cd /usr/lib/ && ln -s libalpm.so.14 libalpm.so.13 might also work

This worked briefly until I tried installing something that presumably needed a breaking change from v14
