When I just ran “update database” on Pamac GUI I found it offering these updates from AUR (I have AUR enabled for a few applications and fonts I use, free42 e.g.):
btrfs-assistant 1.8-1 → 1.8-2
ckbcomp 1.215-1 → 1.221-1
menulibre 2.2.3-5 → 1:2.2.3-2
thunarx-python 0.5.2-4 → 1:0.5.2-2
timeshift 23.06.2-1 ->23.07.1-1
v86d 0.1.10-6 → 0.1.10-12
xcursor-breeze 5.27.6-1 → 1:5.27.6-1
On my backup system (databases not yet refreshed) I found all these applications originating from Official Repositoriy ‘extra’. What happened? What am I supposed to do?
Recently I learned that installing through AUR may require running on ‘testing’ branch. Thus, not unexpectedly, building those updates greatly failed.
Now I might add these applications to the ignore-updates list, I might uninstall them (although I’d really prefer to keep Timeshift), I might disable AUR (and set up another installation on ‘testing’ to build what I need …), or I might download the recent install media, do a fresh install and stick to the Official repositories on it - just to see what will happen. Honestly, I feel seriously confused, and I’d highly appreciate any helping advise. Thanks in advance.

- Update: There seem to be many more applications, even pamac-gtk itself (I’m on XFCE), that appear to have lost their origin in official repositories, showing up in pamac GUI under Installed - Alien (? - “Fremde” in german) now.
I’d guess it’s better to give the maintainers some time to sort this out before checking for updates again? D.
