[SOLVED] How to list installed packages that aren't in repository?

I couldn't find relevant info on arch wiki and I'm not good enough with pacman to do it myself. I found that some packages I have installed get removed from official repository (tuxguitar, for example, got moved to AUR a month ago), and pacman never updates them but doesn't delete them either, or give me any kind of info about them for that matter. It'd be really useful to be able to see a list of packages installed but that aren't in the repo (anymore). Is it possible?

Some help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED] How to list installed packages that aren't in repository?

Such packages are treated by pacman as "foreign".

See 'man pacman'.


Sakura:-
Mobo: MSI MAG X570S TORPEDO MAX // Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X @4.9GHz // GFX: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT // RAM: 32GB (4x 8GB) Corsair DDR4 (@ 3000MHz) // Storage: 1x 3TB HDD, 6x 1TB SSD, 2x 120GB SSD, 1x 275GB M2 SSD

Making lemonade from lemons since 2015.
