[SOLVED]pacman -Syu upgrades package which then disappears

b

[2021-01-16T09:24:07-0600] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Syu'
[2021-01-16T09:24:07-0600] [PACMAN] synchronizing package lists
[2021-01-16T09:24:10-0600] [PACMAN] starting full system upgrade
[2021-01-16T09:24:19-0600] [ALPM] transaction started
[2021-01-16T09:24:19-0600] [ALPM] upgraded rav1e (0.3.5-1 -> 0.4.0-1)
[2021-01-16T09:24:19-0600] [ALPM] transaction completed
[2021-01-16T09:24:19-0600] [ALPM] running '30-systemd-update.hook'...

$ pacman -Qi ravle
error: package 'ravle' was not found

Digging around with grep:

ls  /var/cache/pacman/pkg |  grep 0.3.5-1
girara-0.3.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
libgusb-0.3.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
rav1e-0.3.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Further digging shows that the "l" in ravle is the problem.  Cutting and pasting ravle from the original messages finds it properly.  Further grepping limits the problem to the "l".

More digging shows that the calibre package install included ravle.

Should this behavior be permitted? Does it allow hidden malware to be installed?

The number 1 is not the letter l. That's a font issue on your end.

More precisely, the package name is rev1e with a 1, not revle with an L.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am using dejavu sans mono. The problem seem to be my vision.
