SUMMARY
Add additional parsing to support
yay
running as root, as the tool will always print a warning about the fact.It must be noted, however, that for some reason I haven't identified (nor planning to invest so much time to do that), whenever
yay
is executed on a remote node (tested on a local VM with vagrant), it will not install AUR packages, only stable repositories are read.Fixes #6184
