signal: killed during yay runs #1600

dvdesolve · 2021-09-05T12:11:37Z

Affected Version

$ yay -V
yay v10.3.1 - libalpm v13.0.0

Previous versions are affected as well

Describe the bug

During run of yay -Syu when it checks AUR packages sometimes I observer the following errors in stdout:

$ yay -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
 apocalypse is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
:: Searching databases for updates...
:: Searching AUR for updates...
:: Checking development packages...

 -> signal: killed
 -> signal: killed
 -> signal: killed
 -> signal: killed
 -> signal: killed
 -> signal: killed
 -> signal: killed
 -> signal: killed
 -> signal: killed
 there is nothing to do

A bunch of signal: killed floods my console screen. It happens from time to time, I can't find any specific pattern or so. It also exists on different machines with different CPUs, DEs, kernels etc

Reproduction Steps

Run yay -Syu, wait when it will check AUR packages
Observe lines with signal: killed

Expected behavior

No signal: killed will be shown

Output

Hey @dvdesolve , try yay-git it has some changes to Checking development packages mechanism.

This error comes from the git ls-remote used to check dev updates, normally it's due to some issue with your .gitconfig/ network/ a package that has gone private

BlackDex · 2021-10-01T09:11:45Z

for me this also happened, and i apparently had:

[core]
    rebase = false

In there, after i removed it, i suddenly got some packages which needed updating.
While one fails building but i do not think this has something to do with yay.

dvdesolve · 2021-12-09T21:41:37Z

Haven't seen this bug for quite a long time. I think it was already fixed in upstream

Fabian42 · 2021-12-10T01:06:09Z

It happened to me on Sunday. yay version 11.0.2.

drujd · 2021-12-23T15:01:58Z

Happened to me 1 min ago.
yay v11.0.2 - libalpm v13.0.1

Scotty-Trees · 2021-12-24T19:15:15Z

Can confirm, happening to me as well on EndeavourOS Gnome, using yay v11.0.2 - libalpm v13.0.1
First time I'm coming across this issue/error, btw.

Edit: I do have yay -Y --gendb and yay -Y --devel --save enabled if that's helpful also.

This is normally not a functional issue, just that yay failed to check one or more development packages. If you ran --gendb and the issue didn't go away (this would cover the url of the source having changed), it might be some setting of .gitconfig (for example: replacing https with ssh can sometimes have weird effects)

I haven't done anything, and the message as magically gone away, so I just want to say sorry to have bothered you. I do love using yay btw :)

Fabian42 · 2021-12-31T15:02:08Z

I'm pretty sure this is network related. My internet connection just died while I was running yay and got this line 71 times.

ThatOneCalculator · 2022-06-12T20:09:14Z

--devel was working for me for a while and suddenly stopped working today. Any idea what I could do to solve it?

grandchild · 2022-06-13T09:48:06Z

and suddenly stopped working today

If you want help you have to be more detailed about how it stopped working. Terminal output, settings etc.

Only output is signal: killed while running yay -Syu --devel

Happened to me while behind a VPN. I guess some git hosting services block my VPN provider's endpoint IP.
