I had to Ctrl+C to get through the message. Firefox though has indeed been updated to version 82, and the system seems to be working okay.
But is there anything I should be concerned about or any action to take to avoid such errors in future ?
it seems you installed GitHub - Foggalong/hardcode-fixer: Fixes Hardcoded Icons manualy or from AUR.
and add a pacman hook for it… it’s this script that complain about a new version available.
I don’t know how you got it… so…
edit: it seems manjaro use it… @philm package it… maybe it need a rebuild… or your system is not up-to-date as it seems I have it and don’t have this issue…

I always update my system with pacman -Syyu, which currently reports no updates applicable.
My system is GPT+UEFI dual-boot (Manjaro 5.4 + Windows 10; rEFInd is the bootloader).
The problem is deeper than I originally conceived and is a consequence of restoring Manjaro from backup incorrectly. Yesterday, I had to reinstall Windows 10 which had run out of disk space. So I backed up my Manjaro, reinstalled Windows 10 (formatting the ESP), and then got to the task of restoring Manjaro from backup.
What I did for restore is installed Manjaro 5.6 (my original installation is kernel 5.4) to get all the boot files. Then from a live shell, I did an rsync from my backup to my / partition, and then ran grub-install. I made some mistake somewhere, and I started getting this error.
scachemaille is likely quite right. I reinstalled hardcode-fixer, and now the problem has indeed gone away. So thanks a lot !
