Pamac tracks my privately installed package

My PKGBULD

pkgname=wxgtk3-dev
pkgver=3.1
pkgrel=2
...

PKGBUILD in AUR

pkgbase=wxgtk-dev
pkgname=(wxgtk2-dev wxgtk3-dev wxgtk-common-dev)
pkgver=3.1.5
pkgrel=2
...

The name is the same with that in AUR repo.

pamac shows as below, though wxgtk3-dev has been in ignore list in pamac settings

Does it mean that pkgname is an ID, which should be unique?

Yes. You can verify by listing the contents of your package cache - note that every package has a uniq name which is versioned by pkgver and pkgrel from the pkgbuild

ls -l /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*.zst
