I have exactly the same problem after upgrading to 9.4.3. I got as far as figuring out that it is triggered by having an IgnorePkg entry in /etc/pacman.conf for an AUR package. If I comment out my 'IgnorePkg=google-chrome' entry, then yay -Qu works correctly. IgnorePkg entries for regular "repo" packages do not seem to trigger this bug.

Thanks,

Similar to your pacman config. I ignored a group of packages IgnoreGroup = modified. It contains official repo packages, AUR packages, and personal packages.

Ok guys, thanks for the help triaging this, I've been to reproduce it and I'm cranking out a fix

Fixed in 9.4.4

WOW! Thanks for fixing this with lightning speed!
I just built yay 9.4.4 from the AUR (using yay 9.4.3), and can verify that it no longer crashes.
