Pamac no longer detects outdated AUR packages

Support AUR
1

This only happened maybe a few weeks ago, after the 27 May Stable update. As the title says, pamac no longer detects outdated AUR packages, and of course cannot use it to install updates. It shows installed AUR packages in the GUI. I refreshed the database using both the command line and GUI, and all nothing.

I cannot seem to find any setting that controls this. Any help would be appreciated.

In the meantime, please provide your system information in accordance with forum presentational guidelines. :point_down:

[Mini-HowTo] Provide System Information

Basic details provided by *-fetch type apps might give enough information for someone wishing to buy a computer, however, for Support purposes it’s best to ask your system directly.

Output of the inxi command will generate more useful and detailed information for those who may wish to help:

Suggested inxi command (use either):
inxi -zv8 (short-form)
inxi --filter --verbosity=8 (long-form)

Command output should be presented as pre-formatted text in accordance with forum guidelines. :eyes:

Running inxi within a chroot environment

  • Add --color=0 to the long-form command, or…
  • Change the short-form command to inxi -zv8c0

Your privacy is respected

[Mini-HowTo] Present code or command output

Note: Grave accent (or, backtick) characters are used. :eyes:

For inline code or to show a single command:

  • please follow this simple example: code here.

For multi-line command output:

  • place text beween two rows of three (```) backtick characters to form a scrollable text box, or …
  • use the </> button in the Compose window to achieve the same result.

The empty row between these rows of backtick characters is where to paste any multi-line command output (such as inxi).

An example of a pre-formatted text enclosure:

What is a Quark?

A. In Physics, an elementary particle and fundamental constituent of matter. 
B. A character from the Star Trek: "Deep Space Nine" television series.
C. A soft, creamy, usually unsalted cheese traditional to central Europe.

Tldr: a server process is broken (or deliberately stopped). Until this is addressed, you can use another aur helper like yay (ok octopi if you want gui), or you can one-time update the database

sudo curl -o /var/lib/pacman/sync/packages-meta-ext-v1.json.gz https://aur.archlinux.org/packages-meta-ext-v1.json.gz
