How can I interpret these messages

Thanks for the hints! One question: I have

> checkrebuild                                                            
foreign	opencl-amd
foreign	zoom

but

> pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12/                                                  
error: No package owns /usr/lib/python3.12

and yay -Syu says strange things:

 yay -Syu

 -> Packages not in AUR: fvextra  gtkhash-nautilus  lib32-libva-vdpau-driver  libva-vdpau-driver  manjaro-artwork  manjaro-documentation-en  manjaro-firmware  minted  systemd-fsck-silent
 -> Flagged Out Of Date AUR Packages: python-thefuzz
 there is nothing to do

Is there someplace where I can dig out what’s really happening?

I have done pamac build opencl-amd (and zoom too), all is ok and says that the transaction is completed successfully, but the list stays on checkrebuild…

Reading the actual message will tell you a lot.

Packages not in AUR means exactly that; it is an information that the mentioned package(s) no longer exist - not even in AUR; packages which do not exist should be removed - unless of course you are actively using one or more of them.

Flagged Out Of Date means exatly that - it is in need of maintenance of some kind.

See the relevant AUR page for more info.

Thanks! And the strange “loop” with checkrebuild could be caused by the same thing?

(I will try to remove packages, but -thefuzz is actively used here - I’ll raise an issue for them).

You should remove those packages, which no longer exist (for example, libva-vdpau-driver is now part of the mesa package):

pamac remove fvextra gtkhash-nautilus lib32-libva-vdpau-driver libva-vdpau-driver manjaro-artwork manjaro-documentation-en manjaro-firmware minted systemd-fsck-silent

Yep, I removed everything now. The checkrebuild things still stays, though:

> checkrebuild -v

using pamac build gives success, but the checkrebuild output doesn’t change…

I think these are false positives.

It tests if all libraries are available but the listed ones do not exists. However, they also don’t exists after a rebuild, so checkrebuild reports them as “needing a rebuild”.

For zoom, it’s most definitely a false report. It can’t be “rebuild”, it’s a closed-source package which is just copied.

Several solutions here… which one should I mark resolved :wink:?
