[SOLVED] Missing AUR Debug Packages When Updating System...

I'm encountering an issue while updating my system. During the update process, I receive messages indicating "missing AUR debug packages" for some packages installed on my machine. I'm wondering if this is normal behavior, and if not, how I can resolve this issue.

Could someone explain what's causing these messages and suggest the best course of action? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Re: [SOLVED] Missing AUR Debug Packages When Updating System...

You should be fine unless you specifically need to install debug packages. Check your /etc/makepkg.conf and look in the "OPTIONS" line. I have '!debug' there because I explicitly don't want or need debug packages. I think this'll clear up the messages for you if you don't intend to build debug packages.

Also, in the future, can you please use code tags when pasting from your terminal?

Re: [SOLVED] Missing AUR Debug Packages When Updating System...

I take it you previously installed hyperland and swww from the AUR, and because you used yay which prevents you from understanding what it's doing, it also installed the debug packages for each of those.  And I gather since that time, you switched to the -git versions and removed the regular versions but not their debug packages (and in the same span of time, the regular versions moved to the main repos).

Do some cleanup to remove packages you have no use for (among them should be yay).
