pacman -Syyuu
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
The worrying thing for me is manjaro manager only shows installed kernels. Most of these are related to manjaro. Are the manjaro servers down are have they pulled the plug and I need to find other options?
Nah, not actually. Those missing packages are for AUR packages, not Manjaro. And the AUR is neither Arch’s nor Manjaro’s responsibility. It’s a community based system. See here:
That being said, I’ve got to wonder, how long has it been since you last update?
It got fixed. Somehow my mirrorlist went from unstable North America to stable defaults.Once that got fixed everything got updated and manjaro packages went back to what they should be.
Think because those packages could not be found in pacman yay went looking for them in AUR.
I do have a very bad habit of being Frankensteinian. It is not a good thing. I am aware of it and if things blow up. Go back and start over. With linux starting over is easy to do and for me clears out a lot of trash.
