Hello,
Yesterday when trying to update my packages through pamac’s GUI I incurred into an error: there was no mirrors for pamac to use. This happened probably after an update I did some days before. When I checked the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
file it was empty so I updated it using pamac’s GUI. This fixed the error yesterday but an AUR package wasn’t able to update: pamac-tray-icon-plasma. Funny enough this package was and is installed via official repos I tried removing it using pamac GUI, pamac CLI and pacman. The removal went okay but when installing the package again it keeps appearing in pamac GUI as an AUR pending update. This is not a big deal but now comes the weirder part of the issue. I use brave and the browser stopped working suddenly too (something related to the profile being used by another brave process) so I went to reinstall it but when trying to do so pamac launches this dialog, that I’ve never seen before:
And after choosing one I get this:
And this:
I find these errors quite weird because as of my understanding pamac is in the official repos not an AUR package. However if I disable AUR from pamac the provider dialog disappears but I still get the second error that says target not found: ...
If I try to install the package using pacman it works okay.
Here you have my /etc/pamac.conf
