Installed AUR packages number increased by 80

Hello!

Does anybody know why the number of my AUR installed packages increased suddenly from 26 to 105? The packages that weren't there before were some lib32-xxxx packages. Maybe they removed them from Repositories and pacman -Qm returns them as AUR packages?

"pacman -Qm" returns all packages that are not found in the sync database. It's just a coincidence that those packages are AUR packages for most people as that is the only common source for foreign packages.

You're probably right about the packages having been removed. It may be in conjunction with the preparations for the multilib repo.

Add [multilib] repository to pacman.conf. More info here.
