Switched some days ago from testing to stable due to error “Signature is invalid”, yet some packages are newer than stable.
Could I just downgrade them to pamac build $(pamac list -qm) all of them?
Hi,
You can downgrade using sudo pacman -Syyuu but you can also leave them as stable will catch up with testing.
EDIT: A stable update has just been released today which might bring many/all of the packages up to the version you already have into stable.

Hi @Tribble,
I believe you’s have to sync with pacman again, to do that:
sudo pacman -Syyuu
I don’t know what the pamac equivalent is, but I know you have to set EnableDowngrade in /etc/pamac.conf by uncommenting it:
$ sudo micro /etc/pamac.conf
[...]
EnableDowngrade
[...]
Followed by, I believe, updating the system:
pamac update
Edit:
For anyone finding this afterward, the command is not:
pamac upgrade
But actually:
pamac update --enable-downgrade --force-refresh
(Thanks to @cscs for enlightening me.)

Yeah say the update. Yet some packages with higher version:
pamac update

Nothing to do.

AH! Think I just figured it out. Try:
pamac update --enable-downgrade

Maybe not all packages in the latest stable update were aligned with testing, for whatever reason.
Use the pacman command above to downgrade (I’ve had a message about manjaro hello local being newer for ages, and I have just left it).
@Mirdarthos Perfect as expected:
pamac update --enable-downgrade

As shown in the wiki and other guides …
sudo pacman -Syyuu
Thats it.
With pamac you also want the --force-refresh flag after touching mirrors.
So assuming it handles this properly the command should ostensibly be:
pamac update --enable-downgrade --force-refresh
