Notice how
- there's a random error about
pacman.conf, but not on every run linux-headersisn't ignored- the sync isn't performed every time

The issue seems to be with yay -Su --ignore foo:

In the meanwhile, sudo pacman -Su --ignore linux --ignore linux-headers --ignore zfs-linux-git --ignore zfs-utils-common-git works fine, of course. So does yay -Su (without --ignore).

I know that multiple --ignores are not supported yet until the new configuration system is added, so that's the first problem, the error: target not found: /etc/pacman.conf is more worrisome to me which indicates that the multiple ignores seem to be breaking the command passed to pacman (maybe).
There are 3 issues in this one issue report :sweat_smile:
- multiple
--ignoredon't work (confirmed) yay -Syudoesn't always displayis up to date(can't reproduce)pacmancommand is misformed (need extra info)
can you post your yay -Pg?

I guess I could try running it under strace to see the pacman invocation? But could it be a race condition? I haven't looked at the code.

Umm, I think the other one or two problems only occur with multiple --ignore parameters:

I also get these, and all but the first ignore don't seem to have any effect. Also, the command then fails as above while there is still work to do.
--ignore "pkg1,pk2,..." seems to work

According to strace, calling

results in this:

No, it is the same for me that it sometimes works, and sometimes it doesn't. But it is mostly it works once after cleaning everything up with
yay -Sc
but all subsequent tries fail like this.

Then does it sometimes do pacman -S -y -u --ignore linux --ignore linux-lts --config /etc/pacman.conf and sometimes pacman -S -y -u --ignore linux --ignore --config /etc/pacman.conf? ๐

What it apparently does, is to randomize the order of the options to pacman. It always seems to drop the argument to the second --ignore. I go both this
[pid 946936] execve("/usr/bin/pacman", ["/usr/bin/pacman", "-S", "--ignore", "linux", "--ignore", "-y", "-u", "--config", "/etc/pacman.conf", "--"], 0x561fedf0a5e0 /* 19 vars */) = 0
and this
[pid 947572] execve("/usr/bin/pacman", ["/usr/bin/pacman", "-S", "-y", "-u", "--ignore", "linux", "--ignore", "--config", "/etc/pacman.conf", "--"], 0x55eaaddba5e0 /* 19 vars */) = 0
with reruns of the above command.

The explanation is this. The options are stored in a map:
type arguments struct {
op string
options map[string]string
globals map[string]string
doubles types.StringSet // Tracks args passed twice such as -yy and -dd
targets []string
}
And iteration over maps is nondeterministic in go (even between multiple iterations with range in the same program!):

multiple --ignore should be fixed in 2f88858ce636df25d67c7380826a6e08ff281e45
