error installing repo packages
[octaviomaury@octo3558 ~]$
it looks like one of my mirrors fucked up and idk what to do
maybe it's yay crap , use normal pacman -Syu, or try another mirror
Hello,
The package "electron" is in "community" repository from Archlinux.
To solve the problem we are unable do anything on our side. (package is from Archlinux repository and the mirror is also some third party one)
I suggest to change the default Archlinux mirror (located at /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch) and try again.
(edit the file as root and comment / uncomment the mirrors you wish to disable / enable) (I believe the first one in the file is the first one which will be used by pacman)
Maybe the mirror could at least be moved to the bottom of the mirror list in the archlinux-mirrorlist package, if not even commented out/removed if it is problematic?
if i good remember, problem with downloading with yay was here in forum disputed in last weeks, and problem was yay, not mirror...
edit: i checked the file in mirror, file is ok.... --> yay is probably crap, use trizen instead
maybe you need too remove corrupted files vrom /var/cache/pacman
morganamilo (who is also active in pacman development) left yay and now develops paru, which is kind of a yay rewrite with new features written in Rust, although jguer is still at yay, written in Go.

Haven't seen any problems like those with pakku-git, hopefully it stays that way :D
