1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    It’s not a permanent one and it works for the time being, can’t see the reason for the downvotes honestly.

    It's just a bad idea in general. A better option would be to patch the binary to use 15. They both have the issue of forcing paru to work with a library it wasn't explicitly designed for, but symlinking (or copying) 15 to 14 forces the hack to be "system wide" instead of restricted to a single binary

    as well, your solution is "temporary" only if you remember to fix it, vs patching which is (by default) overwritten the next time paru is updated

    it "works", but it's not something i'd recommend someone else do

    I genuinely thought symlinking these files was standard because how many people I have seen suggesting it. I have had this issue so many times when I needed to that one program updated but there's no newer libraries in AUR. Surprisingly, I haven't had issues and I've been doing this past 5 years on my personal system. So I guess I consider compiling from source next time.
