Hi!
I got several orphaned packages and cannot rid off them.
bus-sharp dbus-sharp-glib maliit-framework maliit-keyboard presage
More over, I’m getting the message that
maliit-keyboard is newer on my PC than in Arch pepo
It’s not a trouble, but irritation. Why do I have all these messages, what shall I do?
Why can’t you get rid of them?
Please share the full output of whatever command you are using to try to remove them.
Also, keep in mind there are two completely different kinds of “orphaned” packages. When an installed package is orphaned, it means that it was installed as a dependency and nothing that requires it is still installed.
When an AUR package is orphaned it means that it no longer has a maintainer.

I use EOS Welcome app to clean the system.
I fail to see any attempt to remove the package, you just did an upgrade.
They are not removed automatically, so I’m afraid removing them manually. Just don’t understand what they are all about. What is maliit-keyboard?
Packages are never removed automatically. You need to remove them manually.
maliit-keyboard is no longer needed.

I use Cairo-dock. So I have to let dbus-sharp… stay in my system, right?
It looks like it is because you are using cairo-dock-plug-ins-wayland-git instead of cairo-dock-plug-ins
Wonderful the power you have in linux. You can do everything by your self…unlike windows 
.
Most of the time it’s not “you can”, but rather “you have to”. Especially in Arch and its derivatives.
