[Jguer]

yay-git should be buildable again and a new patch release of yay is being tailored with just this fix.

Seems some package upgrade caused the condition to pipe the output to the go command

[Jguer]

yay v11.3.2 should have the fix for this as well.

Please report if it is not resolved and thanks for the initial report @OptixWolf

@abisalde do you have base-devel installed?

pacman -S --needed git base-devel

@abisalde do you have base-devel installed?

pacman -S --needed git base-devel
