New/old Aur Packages shows up here and there, but i have not a full overview... how to get rid off them?

Support AUR
1

I have mainly AUR only activated because i need it for my VPN Client.

I dont see in Pamac UI no AUR install overview, someone may have a terminal command to show all AUR Installed Packages?

I only found atleast 3 AUR packages in pamac UI, where i cant find any relations to my VPN application.

Is it save to uninstall this?

Have you enabled aur in pamac preferences when you do under installed, aur packages appear as foreign.

I have AUR enabled because i need it for my VPN client… i said it already.

Edit:
I can see them now in Foreign, thanks.

But “python-npyscreen” isnt shown there, when i search for it under ALL the package shown this as a AUR Package in Pamac but not listed under Foreign.

python-npyscreen shows as Official Repositories (community) on my system. Your output shows it’s required by pacman-mirrors so I wouldn’t uninstall that one.

Edit:

pamac list -m

It is available in the AUR too. It has maybe been pulled from there as a dependency for one of your other python packages you have installed from the AUR?

I have explicit only installed 2 AUR Packages that i personally want and this is VPN and Inc Status for my Printer. But it could be still possible that i have installed some other AUR Packages from this Full Stable Updates, where this AUR packages hidden under hundreds from updates.

$ pamac list -m

So qt5-webkit and python-progress should be safe to uninstall?

As they are both Required By : None I would say so.

The key fields you have to watch is Required By (which will prevent uninstallation anyway) and Optional For (certain packages may lose a functionality, but otherwise still working). In your case, everything but python-npyscreen is None, so uninstall the other two if you don’t need them.
