Having the same trouble, but completely outside of Yay. I reported it here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vscodium-bin not yet being aware of the scale of the issue.

Turns out that Arch Linux itself made some change so that debug packages are now a thing by default.

Personally I am going to follow the suggestions I could found to disable debug packages by default in makepkg.conf by adding an exclamation mark in front of it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=293005 https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/

However this is in fact still a work around, packages shouldn't conflict in my opinion.

I am curious if Yay or any other AUR helper would even be able to actually "fix" it (other than just recommending the user to disable debug packages or give the user some option to automatically do it).
