alpm error. Unable to install or build.

[Samohttnias]

Affected Version

paru -V
Current Version 2.0.4
I have removed the older version in an attempt to install other forks to no avail.

Description

Have you checked previous issues?
First off, I am running Arch Linux, KDE.
2.0.3 was running just fine and I had been putting off solving this problem in hopes it would be resolved on the back end, as I have seen that others are having this problem too.
However, paru has not been updating because of the Alpm error. I have updated pacman, I even reinstalled pacman from an external boot. I searched the web to no avail, I asked I.A. and the great oracles of circuitry sent me to wait on an update.
My most recent attempt at getting it updated ended my efforts: I uninstalled paru-bin after it wouldn't even respond and attempted to build it, which I think is how I originally installed it months ago. This time I got this error message.
If it's a problem on my end, please let me know, but as of now I can't run paru anymore, I can't install paru or paru-bin

Seems like the workaround for now is to install from the master branch. Had the same issue but cargo install --git https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru worked for me.

@Samohttnias is this resolved for you ??
