I think pamac-aur has pam-u2f error while enter password.

I believe libalpm.so was updated to v16 today. pamac-aur 11.7.4-1 is looking for libalpm.so =15. Just a heads up.

[AUR] pamac-aur build fails on manpage generation (a2x/xmllint)
Summary

When building the latest pamac-aur (11.7.3-3) from the AUR using yay (or any AUR helper), the process fails during manpage generation with a2x and xmllint. The rest of the build completes with only warnings, but this error prevents installation.


Error Output
[3/9] Generating data/doc/pamac.conf.5 manpage with a custom command
FAILED: data/doc/pamac.conf.5
/usr/bin/a2x -f manpage -D data/doc ../data/doc/pamac.conf.5.asciidoc
a2x: ERROR: "xmllint" --nonet --noout --valid ".../build/data/doc/pamac.conf.5.xml" returned non-zero exit status 3

FAILED: data/doc/pamac.8
/usr/bin/a2x -f manpage -D data/doc ../data/doc/pamac.8.asciidoc
a2x: ERROR: "xmllint" --nonet --noout --valid ".../build/data/doc/pamac.8.xml" returned non-zero exit status 3

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: pamac-aur-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
pamac-aur - exit status 4

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Run yay -S pamac-aur (or any AUR helper).
  2. Wait for the build to reach the manpage generation step.
  3. The error above occurs and stops the build.

Troubleshooting Tried
  • Reinstalled all dependencies: asciidoc, docbook-xml, docbook-xsl, xmlto, libxslt, libxml2
  • Verified /usr/share/xml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.5/docbookx.dtd exists
  • Tried to generate the XML manually with asciidoc -b docbook pamac.conf.5.asciidoc and validate with xmllint
  • Error persists, seems related to build process or incompatibility with recent XML tools versions.

Temporary Workarounds
  • Commenting out the a2x manpage generation lines in the PKGBUILD allows the build to complete (but no manpages are installed).
  • Alternatively, installing pamac-aur-git sometimes works, as it may not generate manpages or may be patched.

Additional Notes
  • The error happens on updated and fresh installations.
  • It does not seem to be a permissions or missing dependencies issue.
  • Occurs with multiple AUR helpers.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a proper fix or patch upstream?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Not sure if anyone else is getting this and what is causing this issue, but the authentication box in pamac is showing in the Afrikaans language instead of my system language. Bug report here in case anyone else can add to it: https://github.com/manjaro/pamac/issues/482

Well, got the latest pamac-aur to work by [-Rns libpamac-aur pamac-aur]. Then the Arch way, first git clone libpamac-aur url + cd libpamac-aur + makepkg -si. Second, git clone pamac-aur url + cd pamac-aur + makepkg -si. All is good now except updates is not searching-working, but refresh databases updates the system ok. We are not using yay, nor any other pamac package. The given cmd line below works here and search for aur too.
