Never do this - quote from Arch Linux Wiki but is equally valid on Manjaro Linux
Warning: When installing packages in Arch, avoid refreshing the package list without upgrading the system (for example, when a package is no longer found in the official repositories). In practice, do not run
pacman -Sy package_nameinstead ofpacman -Syu package_name, as this could lead to dependency issues. See System maintenance#Partial upgrades are unsupported and BBS#89328.
Always use the following - no matter if it is update or addition (it is always a sync)
pacman -Syu
After successful completion of the system sync (you may need to restart the system)
pamac update --aur
