Since yesterday, AUR support is broken in all versions of PacUI, except extremely old versions. The reason is a format change in the list of all package names as described in the Arch Wiki.

There has been a previous format change in the mid-December of 2017, which broke AUR support in PacUI. It seems that now, the previous format (from the pre-December era) is used again.
I have adopted the changes (by using the old AUR-related PacUI code) and pushed an update to all Versions of PacUI. Until the format is changed again, PacUI's AUR support should work again.

Since the release of PacUI, development has continued here is a short list of changes:

  • New developments in yay and trizen are now supported in PacUI.

  • Some Arch Linux specific problems have been fixed.

  • PacUI shows a text with red background whenever user interaction is recommended or required

  • PacUI uses a "Bash strict mode" now. This makes it quit immediately whenever a single command within PacUI reports an error. The strict mode forces developers to use high quality code (which means less unintended consequences), but can make the script quit prematurely with an error message. Please report these errors whenever you encounter them.

  • General improvements.
