Thanks! both pamac and pacman up and working! 99 packages still show up as not updated in GUI, however, and attempting to update them in the gui ends with a supposedly “successful” upgrade despite them clearly not upgrading in the GUI. Checking the version of the programs themselves show that they are not upgraded.
Here’s the gui’s detailed output of the install:

Sounds like not all your mirrors and/or databases are up to date. Those package versions are current with all branches. Update your mirrors and try again:
Since the [Stable Update] 2021-07-13, my audio is acting strangely.
If I have my audio receiver on at bootup, the speakers will output a constant droning noise until just before the Manjaro welcome screen shows up. AFAIK, this is normal, and I interpret this behavior as the audio receiver not receiving anything from the onboard sound card to being controlled by the onboard sound card driver.
Unfortunately, with the latest update, the droning sound comes on for 5-30 seconds, goes away for 2-5 seconds, and repeats the cycle.
The droning sound goes away if an application (web browser, audio player, etc) or the OS (Play audio feedback for changes to audio volume) plays sound. Shortly after I pause a video, song, etc, the droning sound comes back.
I have checked, unplugged, and plugged back in my audio cables, but it made no difference.
Small trouble with Firefox reverting to English after rebooting the system, the French localization package being installed but not detected. The package was correctly used after rebooting again.
Thank you for this hint. Does this include the possibility, that firering up X with “startx” runs without any problem? Anyway, I’ll try to switch to wayland. Do I have to install specific packages for this? (silly question…)
Xfce, Kernel 4.14.
All fine and smooth; however, I see that now, telegram-desktop, require pipewire which has been installed and activated by default (pipewire.service which is activated by pipewire.socket).
I masked them - the service and the socket, and telegram-desktop is still working fine.
I updated apparently successfully, but after a reboot no keyboard (external or laptop – tried around 3 different models) works on tty. I get to see my username and the regular underscore blinking cursor, but no key produces any kind of effect or feedback. It doesn’t work to switch to another tty either. As a result, I can’t even log in.
Before the update, I always logged into X desktop throught the tty without problems.
I found a very temporary solution chrooting, enabling gdm which I keep as backup, and inside GNOME every keyboard works. But surely I’d like to go back to dwm. Switching into a tty from GNOME makes the keyboard unusable again and a hard reboot is required.
