Removing AUR package that no longer exists

General system Pacman & AUR helpers

I was using an AUR package patch for libx11 and now i want to remove it and see if the updates have fixed the original libx11 files so vmware works properly without the patch. Noyt sure how to get it uninstalled with dependency issues.

Yay reports it isn’t in the AUR. So how do i remove it from showing up when running updates.

Install libx11 from the repos. It should ask if you want to remove the other package and answer “Y”.

Okay thanks…
I thought i saw an update for libx11 when I updated so I wanted to try and see if vmware would not act up on me without this patch because i don’t see the AUR patch package in the AUR now. It seems like they may have corrected the issue? I’ll give it a go. Don’t know why i didn’t think of trying this. Sometimes i don’t always clue in to what the package is i need to install. Appreciate the help as always.

It seems like they have fixed the issue that was causing vmware to close on me when moving the mouse to the outside edge of the vmware window. Marking it as solved now!
