Referring to the actual update (20210614) I’ve seen the issue with libcanberra and the recommendation, to use pamac pamac update.
Up to know, for the [Stable Updates] I used sudo pacman -Syyuu as described here. To learn about the pamac procedure I checked the wiki, which describes the command pamac upgrade -a. My questions:
What differences between pamac / pacman updates should I understand?
What is you preferred procedure?
What is the difference between pamac upgrade -a (Wiki) and pamac update (philm’s posting) and what is the preferred command?
For an AUR package there is an update available which I DE-selected on purpose in the graphical pamac 10.0.6-2. Is it safe to use pamac upgrade -awithout updating this package?
Sorry for the bunch of questions: You might see that I’m an absolute beginner …
Sometimes an update with Pamac is recommended here because Pacman doesn’t get something done so easily and sometimes an update with Pacman works more easily. Both paths lead to the goal, sometimes easier and sometimes more difficult. Which way you want to go is up to you.
