Thank you for the updates, I removed the flatpak but I think I missed something while installing the AUR package : i went for the clean install (packages to cleanbuild = all) : I prefer to start back from a clean slate. I also choose the “all” option when asked diffs to show (an occasion to try and understand what’s happening, I guess).
Now, I’ve hit the (end) marker and … nothing : Jitsi isn’t installed yet (not shown in the app list anyway) and I can’t close the terminal because the process is still running 
FYI :

(And I don’t feel like “breaking” averything just yet, though there wouldn’t be that much to rebuild considering the computer has been running for less than 10 days 
)

(and your patience)
