I see that there is this package [archlinux-appstream-data-pamac](https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/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. ---
