Hi All,
rest update 0.8.1 has been running for over 12 hours and will not complete. How long does this update normally take?
Stuck here
Preparing…
Synchronizing package databases…
Refreshing AUR…
Cloning rest build files…
Any insight appreciated.
Regards,
Gerry
details are missing
update your list of mirrors first
before you try to use them to pull your updates from
easy to do via the pamac-manager GUI …
AUR references files from outside sources.
They might not be readily available at all times.

There’s nothing indicating build problems in the comments on the AUR page: AUR (en) - rest
Never rebuild custom packages while doing a system sync.
pacman-mirrors --status
sudo pacman -Syu
pamac build <pkgname>
pamac --upgrade --aur
Thanks All,
Feels the same. Stuck on Cloning rest build files…
Can I uninstall and replace with something else?
[mymachine ~]$ pacman-mirrors --status

Cloning rest build files…
I spot a gremlin here — using AUR packages isn’t officially supported on an up-to-date Arch or Manjaro system, but yours isn’t even up-to-date, or at least properly maintained. You could be using an outdated compiler, for example.
I’ll also add that not only do you need a current system to make proper use of the AUR, you also should be using at least the Testing branch; preferably Unstable.
The community repo was dropped over a year ago: pacdiff -o may provide some interesting results.
To remove these mogwai-descendents, you need to keep your system maintained!
change your mirrors - or update the mirror list
my mirror list was generated by:
sudo pacman-mirrors -c Germany
and
yay -S rest
works flawlessly and was finished in under a minute on my pretty slow system
no, I will not try
pamac build rest
With regards to this, I’ll just leave this here:
I’ll add that to my list of things to suggest! 
All of you are on a totally different level than most of us I think, and that is greatly appreciated.
I thought I was maintaining my system as this one has been rock solid since 2017. My maintenance approach is making sure nothing is sitting in the Updates tab of the Package Manager. When that does not work I go to the terminal. I will try the mirror change.
Mine also is of about that vintage, on this system. But if I run:
[brian@BG-T440-MANJARO ~] $ pacdiff -o
[brian@BG-T440-MANJARO ~] $
… you’ll see that nothing shows up here for me. Did you run the above command on yours?
And you check/remove orphans, and new “foreign” packages that appear when they are dropped from Manjaro repositories (and sometimes also available in AUR making them then AUR packages when you updates from Pamac and have the AUR updates enabled)?
Thank you. Doing it now.
Thank you omano. Removing orphans did the trick.

Gerry
Not sure why I’m the solution, but I’ll take it 
I want to thank everyone for all the suggestions.

Gerry
