Hi,
I'm finding it impossible to do anything with pacman and yay today,
-Syu, even -Syyu both not working
also -S is not working for every package I have tried
I am super confused, have been trying to figure this out all day.
I remember this problem starting when I was changing pacman.conf to enable multilib,
here is me trying -Syu in yay:
booflet451-Reboofed:[booflet451]:~$ yay -Syu
