this is something in my update which is an AUR package update. not sure why I have this. Was deprecated from our own repo last Feb. Is there a way to see how I dragged this in thru the AUR?
graci!
Can you show the output?
Edit: Are you asking why you have reiserfsprogs?
If you take a look at: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/reiserfsprogs you will see which AUR packages require resp. optionally require reiserfsprogs.
Unless you have installed one of these packages which may has āpulled inā or you optionally installed reiserā¦ then it must be the leftover of some standard packagelist install from the past.
Just remove it with pacman and you will be fine.
the updtae just kind of loops like this but was successful:

pretty religious (monthly) with the -Qtdq but youre prpbably right
I donāt recognize any of those packages. Mmm.
As @cactux said itās probably some left over package cache from something.
The reiserfsprogs must have been part of a standard install of EOS at some point thus explicitly installed and not as a dependency of another package not currently installed on the system leaving some orphans behind. Therefore your command wonāt ācaptureā it.
You might be right? I vaguely recall seeing it in the past but Iāve reinstalled many times with testing on my bare metal machines.
I donāt recognize any of those packages. Mmm.
Maybe. Arch removed it in Feb. from /extra. My installās 2 years old so an AUR package as standard install is interesting.
It must have been installed while still part of the Archās repo before it dropped to AUR.
Not installed from AUR as part of the standard install.
Remove it with sudo pacman -Rs
$ yay -Rs reiserfsprogs

gone now, thanks to both. @cactux think you are correct. any odd journey for that package to take but Iāve not seen everything 
did not see the edit til now. Yes, I am.
Isnāt that the file system that was long abandoned then deprecated because the dev has been in prison for murder? 
The installer used to install it because it was needed by the installer.
It should be safe to remove it.
Finally remembered it was here i last recalled it.
