Error message

Status: {}

What it means

Status is paru's top-level exit-code error type; Status::err(n) wraps an integer exit code in a Result::Err whose Display renders 'Status: {}'. This is the canonical constructor: any code path that needs to abort paru with a specific nonzero exit code flows through here. It is not a crash — paru exits with that code after printing the message.

Solutions

1. Read the exit code and surrounding output to identify the underlying failed step (pacman, review prompt, build).
2. Re-run and accept the interactive prompt if you declined it.
3. Fix the underlying pacman error (conflicts, missing repo, locked db) before retrying.

run paru; capture exit code; treat nonzero as the failing step's status and inspect stderr for the root cause

When it happens

Trigger: Any internal code path calling Status::err(code) — e.g. after pacman subprocess failures, user declining prompts, or build failures — bubbling up to main and terminating the process with that exit status.

Common situations: Pacman returning nonzero during a transaction; user answering 'no' to a proceed prompt; scripts wrapping paru and inspecting its exit code.
