Vmware and Skype i have no issue with,but why Pulseaudio-ctl and spectre-meltdown-checker are from AUR,were they removed from the repository?
and what about the others?how do i verify?
They were indeed dropped to the AUR because of compatibility issues and the fact that they have not been maintained anymore in a long time.
Possibly an optional dependency, but not a requirement.
They are not required.

Itβs quite possible that something you have installed from AUR has also installed some of these as dependencies.
I donβt know if there is an easy way (someone else might know) but you could always check them one by one:
pacman -Qs <packagename>
This might reveal enough information to trace them further.
Aragorn:
They are not required.

Yes. Most should be explicitly avoided, and if you dont know/want any then they are all expendable.

just did and removed quit a few.
pulseaudio-ctl from AUR was included in Manjaro ISOs before Manjaro switched to PipeWire.
Why does pipewire-pulse no longer declare provides=(pulseaudio)? Β· Issues Β· Arch Linux Β· GitLab
pipewire-pulse really shouldnβt provide pulseaudio, as itβs not 100% compatible. For example, pacmd is missing and the CLI protocol that pacmd depends on isnβt implemented, either.
There are a bunch of packages that continue depending on pulseaudio because of this, and they were silently broken by pipewire-pulse.

i remember a few updates ago in the announcement it was written:pulseaudio-ctl is not compatible with PipeWire and should be removed:"
pulseaudio-ctl was always incompatible with pipewire-pulse because it uses pacmd rather than pactl commands. But it was not a conflicting package until recent changes to PipeWire dependencies
i already removed it and have working sound.
Was audio not working before you removed it?
