Adding exceptions to pacman for AUR packages?

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Arch Linux. I love my new "Linux-Laptop" but there are still some things I need to figure out.

I have the following problem: I'm using a Pacman GUI on my GNOME desktop and have installed atom-editor (a GitHub text editor called "Atom") from the AUR. To get new updates, I also checked "Search the AUR for updates". Now pacman also wants to update some libdbusmenu-* packages, which are in the AUR. But neither do I need nor do I want them. Is there a way to add an exception for these packages so they don't get updates from the AUR?

Re: Adding exceptions to pacman for AUR packages?

What pacman GUI are you using? Why are these packages being installed/updated if you neither need them or want them?

Mod note: moving to AUR issues.

Sorry, I think I described it the wrong way. I don't need the updates to version 16.x. The installed version is just fine.
