Multiple problems installing updates with pamac

[brianjcohen]

My KDE plasma tray icon is indicating that I have 4 updates to install so I do what I usually do, which is to run pamac update from the command line. Here is the output of that:

There are a few things I perceive to be not working correctly here and I would love to get some help with.

1. It’s indicating 4 packages to upgrade and I said ‘y’ to the transaction, I authenticated, and it goes right to Transaction successfully finished. without installing anything. I expected it to install the updated packages, which is what has always happened. This just started happening in the past couple days.

2. There is a warning near the top that has been there for a while: Warning: manjaro-hello: local (0.7.0-6) is newer than extra (0.7.0-5). How did this happen? How can I resolve? Should I just uninstall manjaro-hello and reinstall it?

3. At some point maybe about 6 months ago it spontaneously stopped prompting me for authentication in a graphical UI prompt and started prompting me instead on the command-line, as you can see. How can I get the graphical UI prompt back?

Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer!

Had the same problem. Can confirm not using pamac and instead using pacman solved the problem.
