The curl call fails. Check your proxy settings, and also check if cower works as expected.

curl -sfg --compressed -C 0 'https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?type=info&v=5&arg[]=yum'

[bibek22]

Yes, cower does work. it's able to find the package.
curl -sfg --compressed -C 0 'https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?type=info&v=5&arg[]=yum'

[rmarquis]

Could be some permission issue - I honestly don't know. In any case, you might want to try the latest code in master branch (pacaur-git) as some of that code has been rewritten since then.

[bibek22]

So, i installed the one from master branch pacaur-git and i get another set of errors now. I tried copying the source codes from the github itself. didn't work either.

pacaur -S yum

It is the same error. The curl call fails for some reason, or its output cannot be assigned to its corresponding variable. No idea what;s wrong here, but it's more than likely an issue on your end. I'm afraid you are on your own.

[rmarquis]

Any news on this? There is nothing I can do as the issue is on your end, so I'll close this issue, but I'm interested in knowing what the issue is/was.

[jmwolff3]

I was having this issue and resolved it by running trust extract-compat. After this, I was able to see valid json returned from curl and no longer received the :: Failed to parse JSON errors.

I'm leaving this here because I didn't see the solution posted anywhere and this thread showed up on every search I conducted.
