i could solve it and reset the red icon to white and be able to open pamac again by running sudo pacman -Syu ,which would say there is nothing to do.
today i got this infinite message:
i checked the status of my mirrors and they’re all fine.
edit:
running sudo pacman -Syyu
gave these packages;
Packages (5) libpamac-11.7.0-0 libpamac-flatpak-plugin-11.7.0-0 manjaro-release-24.1.2-1 pamac-cli-11.7.0-0 pamac-gtk3-10.7.0-0
hopefully this pamac update will fix it.
Edit2:
i can open pamac after this update but get an extra error widow with this message:
trans_refresh: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method “StartTransRefreshAur”
edit3: trying to refresh database in Pamac gets stuck on “refreshing AUR” and i have to kill the process.
Pamac is still a mess;i have a notification for 5 updates but nothing shows,
it gets stuck,
on the “Browse” tab(when i can access it) i only have:Firefox,virtualbox and something else.
sudo ls /var/cache/pamac ✔ :
kdelibs4support kdesignerplugin kemoticons pulseaudio-ctl
This is exactly what I was going to question. I’d suggest removing the AUR versions of the PAMAC items and install those from the repos using pacman instead.
pacman -Ss pamac-cli
extra/pamac-cli 11.6.0-5 [installed]
A CLI Package Manager based on libalpm with AUR support
i can’t use pamac to remove them,pamac is stuck.
tried running your commands to check:
pacman -Ss pamac-cli INT ✘ 13s
error: could not read db 'extra' (gzip decompression failed)
~ pacman -Ss pamac-tray-icon-plasma 1 ✘
error: could not read db 'extra' (gzip decompression failed)
i don’t know what broke.
sudo pacman -Syyu ✔

i rebooted 3 times already,
i think i’ll wait a day.
moving from “Browse” to “installed” takes a lot of time and look at that;
the browse Tab with only 3 packages,and both these and the installed ones don’t show from what repository they are:
For me, the initial fix was to downgrade pamac-gtk.
Then a little later, some upgrades for pamac-cli and libpamac appeared. Installing these and then re-installing the latest pamac-gtk brought everything back.
I can only assume some package pushes got a bit out of sync.
Hopefully you can, with the -Rns options. I’m sure I did that to remove an unwanted AUR package fairly recently, but I don’t entirely trust my “memory” sometimes.
i just ran sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive --default && sudo pacman -Syu
to rechose my mirrors and it seems to have fixed it.
sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive --default && sudo pacman -Syu ✔

there is nothing to do
now pamac GUI is fluid and one can see from which repository packages are:
