(SOLVED)Pamac is not showing Packages to install

Hello to everybody in this forum

Im a new user on Endeavouros and im facing a problem with Pamac which is not showing any packages that i can install(Actually it shows a few ). it only shows the installed ones, the orphan ones and packages from the AUR repo.

By giving pacman -Q | grep pamac

libpamac-aur 11.2.0-5
pamac-aur 10.3.0-4

I have already updated my system and pamac database but the problem remains

how can i fix this

thanks

Is this a console command?

yes.

this is what i get:

I see that there is this package archlinux-appstream-data-pamac in AUR with the description:

Arch Linux application database for AppStream-based software centers (Fixed for pamac-aur and pamac-all packages)

I wonder if that is the one you need to have. You might want to wait for other forum members more experienced with Pamac to comment on this.

If you go ahead and install that, it will conflict with the one you have already. When prompted, you need to say yes to remove it.
