Tried to install a duplicate file finder, failed.
"could not satisfy dependencies:
OK, pygtk seems to be some python 2 dinosaur, and i can go ahead and find some other duplicate file finder, but how do I stop pamac from trying to install pygtk when I attempt to install other software?
Remove fslint-gui. You probably don’t need this and cannot use without this dependency.
sudo pacman -R fslint-gui
[sudo] password for …
error: target not found: fslint-gui
is it not installed?
Since is an AUR package is not “visible” to pacman. You need to use:
pamac unistall fslint-gui
This is only true to some extent. Pacman can actually see and remove a AUR package without any problem unless the package is installed manually that is with makepkg or something.
I suspect the same. What is the output of pacman -Qs fslint-gui?
there is no output
I don’t think the package even installed in the first place. It clearly “failed”.
From AUR (en) - pygtk
python2-cairo (a listed dep) is no longer in AUR. That leaves it so pygtk can’t be built.
i tried hte uninstall command, but a help list, indicating that there is only a remove command.
pamac remove fslint-gui 
Error: target not found: fslint-gui
You can install czkawka-gui-bin from the AUR as a replacement for fslint-gui. See:
will a fslint replacement let me get past the pygtk issue?
Yes. That’s why I recommended it. From AUR (en) - pygtk
An identical replacement for
fslint-guiisczkawka-gui-binAUR (en) - czkawka-gui-bin which does not needpygtk.
worked, thx!
Not true. AUR helpers are Pacman wrappers and AUR packages are installed by Pacman.
makepkg is part of pacman. 
Cool, glad you both settled it …
I’ll be honest, since
sudo pacman -S <AUR-package>
always ends with Error: target not found for me was no point to try sudo pacman -R <AUR-package> ever.
Pacman cannot access the AUR. When one builds an AUR package either via an AUR helper or via makepkg, the package is installed with pacman -U.
