Python2 upgrade 2.7.18-5 -> 2.7.18-6 tests error

@David5

Is this the reason, i.e. python2 being removed from the repos, why it gives that error when building?

No.
The point of python2 being dropped is that you likely don’t need it either.

Why do i have AUR packages installed?

Unless installed explicitly, AUR packages may have been installed as dependencies for other packages.

• No package in Manjaro’s repositories have a mandatory dependency with AUR packages. They may have optional dependencies there though, in order to add functionalities.
• An AUR package may require another AUR package.
• Some packages in AUR were formerly in Arch’s repositories – and thus in Manjaro’s.
  Arch maintainers regularly check for packages to drop from their repositories; those packages are then removed from their repositories – and thus later from Manjaro’s – and moved to AUR.
  • Packages dropped to AUR can, usually, be safely removed from your system.
