Hi,
I have an issue with pamac and AUR packages.
Every time that an AUR update is detected (I use pamac update -a), pamac tries to reinstall same version instead of updating to latest.
This happens with all packages. It all started apparently random some months ago. It used to work correctly for a long time, than for no reason I started facing this issue.
The only way to update to latest version is to remove my installed package, and rebuild it from scratch.
I tried to clean package cache and also build cache to no avail.
This is a log showing the last time it happened (today):
[user@host ~]$ pamac update

I tried cleaning pamac cache but nothing changed:
[user@host ~]$ pamac clean -k 0
[user@host ~]$ pamac clean -b
Removing packages works:
[user@host ~]$ pamac remove dotnet-host-bin dotnet-runtime-bin netstandard-targeting-pack-bin dotnet-sdk-bin aspnet-runtime-bin openhab3
