Update notification but no update available

Good Morning,

today my system notified me via Pamac System Tray icon that an update is available (i am lazy and don’t want to check for updates every day, so i am waiting for the notification)

I did what i usually do by opening a CLI, running pacman and yay with the update/upgrade switch, but both did not find an update.
The only different is that yay informed me about non available package in AUR: ksanecore5 and libksane5 (no idea what they are needed for and why the message appeared now)

After that, the tray icon disappeared as usual.

Any idea why that happened?

Thanks

Don’t worry about it, I think it’s best to wait for the thread to open (i.e. notification by feed), though it’s not a hard and fast rule… depends on how lazy I’m feeling too.

Sometimes pamac needs a minute to catch it’s breath.

Those are old Plasma 5 packages - you should probably remove them.

You might want to also look at checking for foreign and orphaned packages, to see what else could or should be removed from your system. I’m not sure what the commands are for yay - I normally use pamac in a terminal to do this.

To list installed foreign packages (i.e. packages not in Manjaro’s repos):

pamac list -m

To list orphaned packages (usually installed as dependencies of other packages that have since been uninstalled, or as build dependencies of AUR packages):

pamac list -o

Great, thanks both for the quick reply.

That’s why i love the Manjaro community :slight_smile:
