Pamac shows updates for several git packages (kauth-git, kconfig-git, kpeople-git, etc…) from the AUR, in addition to a few other packages.
If I try to update packages with pacman, it says no updates are available.
Here is what I have done:
Ran: pacman -Syyu and pacman -Syyuu
Refreshed databases in pamac
Ignored it for a few weeks and hoped it would go away (it did not)
I do not know how else to troubleshoot this and similar threads on the internet have not helped. If I update with Pamac, my SSDM breaks and I have to revert to an earlier backup of my system to restore it. This could be due to a different issue I created, but it is hard to tell.
Is pamac showing these git packages an issue? If so, what could be the cause of the discrepancy between pamac and pacman? What are some steps I can take to resolve it?
Yes, because the standard installation doesn’t come with any -git packages. You probably installed something from the AUR that had the -git packages as dependencies.
