Okay I’ve noticed several interesting things.
Pamac CLI works with no problems:

To build (5):

Apply transaction ? [e/y/N]
These packages are also reflected in the pamac update indicator extension.
clicking into pamac to actually check the updates though causes it to hang at this screen:
yay, on the other hand, tells me I only have two updates instead of five:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date

warning: gnome-shell-extension-nightthemeswitcher: local (52-1) is newer than community (51-2)

there is nothing to do

So now we have two problems: pamac gui stalling and yay disagreeing with pamac CLI. Coincidence?
EDIT: on my other device disabling dev package update checks in pamac gui causes pamac cli to report I have two aur updates, but disabling it causes it to report none.
Now I’m really confused…someone please help.
