I just got an update for this package. However its from the AUR and I don’t recall installing it (it may have been installed as a dependency, but I don’t know). However I’m inclined to think that it is a package that Manjaro no longer uses and has thus shifted it to the AUR (this has happened a f…

pactree -r python-ufonormalizer should tell you what, if anything, relies on it.

@helpcomputer : It seems that this has been in the AUR for awhile (2019-08-12), so I would doubt that it was installed as a dependency of anything from the official repos.

Thank you all for you advice, using the hints and tips you suggested, it looks like I installed it recently when installing a custom proton for Steam. I’m not sure what the package does exactly, but afdko (some font thing) depends on it. I guess it is something necessary. Thank you all.

I was wondering if I could ask a follow up; it seems the package is definitely related to Steam. However if I try to update it, it fails to do so citing conflicting files conflicting files: python-ufonormalizer: /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pycache/_version.cpython-38.opt-1.pyc already exist…

I’m so sorry to bother you with a minor complaint; but I’m running into a weird issue and I want a sanity check to make sure that I’m not making some silly error. If I just try to update directly from the terminal (was using Pamac earlier) by sudo pacman -S python-ufonormalizer (for now let’s igno…

Gotcha, thank you for that help

[image] helpcomputer: afdko (some font thing) depends on it. Well, do you need afdko? Why not remove both? Did you try?

As an update, I couldn’t figure out how to update, i just ended up removing the conflicting packages (because that’s essentially what the link you sent suggested, removing/overwriting). All seems well now. Thank you

Is it safe to remove python-ufonormalizer?
