Confused about updates

Hi group -
Running kernel 5.15.60-1 with KDE Plasma 5.24.6 on a System76 machine. Everything is working OK but am confused about the update status.

I use Octopi and it reports 337 packages are pending install. Pamac says it’s up-to-date. Why are they out of sysc, can I (should I) sync them somehow, and which one is correct?

thx
Reid

Initially I would trust Pamac, it is - after all - the inhouse package manager.

You will get the ultimate answer from a terminal

sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman Syy

Then run the script

checkupdates

If that returns empty - you have no pending updates - otherwise run

sudo pacman -Syu

Thanks

That could be right. There was a major update yesterday.
