Paru not recognising AUR package updates after deleting local repository

[metronidazole]

Affected Version

paru v1.9.2 - libalpm v13.0.1

Description

I have a local repository setup which I use to store built AUR packages. I accidentally deleted the folder containing the repository (and have subsequently remade it), however paru is no longer updating any out of date AUR packages. Before this, it would update any packages and update the local repository with that new built package.

Output

paru -Syu

So in this context, paru does not update aur packages. It updates your local repo using the aur as a source.

Packages have to be in the repo.

How do I fix this without manually rebuilding everything? I lost my package cache as well.

You can't.
