Packages not in AUR when using yay

After temporary switching to testing branch, i have switched back to stable. But when i do now a update of AUR packages with yay -Syu, i get the message:

Packages not in AUR: lib32-libva-vdpau-driver linux-firmware-amdgpu linux-firmware-atheros linux-firmware-broadcom linux-firmware-cirrus linux-firmware-intel linux-firmware-mediatek linux-firmware-meta linux-firmware-nvidia linux-firmware-other linux-firmware-radeon linux-firmware-realtek python-manjaro-sdk web-installer-url-handler

What does this mean and should i be worried about that?

It means that you did not refresh your mirror list after switching back to Stable. Many if not all of those packages are not in the Stable repositories yet.

If this done by sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu, i have done this already. But the message is not removed by this.

Those are no longer in the repos and can be removed.

The linux-firmware packages were recently split and are only in the unstable and testing branches.

So, when im back on stable, i can remove linux-firmware-amdgpu linux-firmware-atheros linux-firmware-broadcom linux-firmware-cirrus linux-firmware-intel linux-firmware-mediatek linux-firmware-meta linux-firmware-nvidia linux-firmware-other linux-firmware-radeon linux-firmware-realtek ?

The meta package replaced the old package, so you would need to do the reverse:

sudo pacman -Rs linux-firmware-meta && sudo pacman -S linux-firmware
