I have a message about a package not in aur during update, yet it is installed on my system. When i run pacman -Qmq it shows 2 applications that are not in the aur anymore. I am not sure if my system is using them or if they can be safely removed.
[michel@michel-crosshair15b12ugsz ~]$ pacman -Qmq
accounts-qml-module
libntfs-3g
These may have been dependencies of other packages that no longer need them.
You can make sure with pactree -r libntfs-3g to see if there is something in your system still depending on them. Most probably not and you could remove them.
[michel@michel-crosshair15b12ugsz ~]$ pactree -r libntfs-3g
libntfs-3g
└─ntfs-3g
I wonder why this got flagged as removed from aur when i updated, it’s not even removed as @Schlaefer posted. accounts-qml-module is gone, that one i checked a week ago.
You said you used the testing repos in another thread, did you remove them from pacman.conf again? If so and using a pacman helper they afair usually referring to unavailable packages as removed from AUR.
Yeah removed them an hour ago. I will recheck.
Edit: Seems your right about the ntfs-3g, but accounts-qml-module is really gone from the aur.

Er is niets meer te doen
Yeah, after removing the testing repos do a yay -Suuy to downgrade all the testing packages (and reboot if necessary).
In testing ntfs-3g depends on the new libntfs-3g, so libntfs-3g is “hanging” at the moment. Arch probably split the lib into a separate package. Either uninstall it manually for now or wait until it moves from testing to release eventually.
