Describe the bug bauh tries run yay as root and fails when installing app from AUR. Screenshot_20210917_005348 Tried bauh --reset but didn't help.

Software Environment bauh version: 0.9.19-1 O.S: Endeavour OS (rolling release), KDE Python version: 3.9.7 Installation method: pacman

Hello @edmundlaugasson , bauh does not use yay as the AUR backend (it has its own implementation). makepkg does not allow to build/compile packages as root by default (this warning is to prevent the error). I'm going to have a look if it is possible someway.

I've just pushed a solution for this feature on the staging branch (bauh-staging package on AUR )
