[Solved] Can't Uninstall Pkg Built with makepkg, Installed with pacman

Running pure arch.

Installed a package with
# pacman -U geary-git-r5090.30939534-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Now trying to uninstall. All commands giving "target  not found"

pakku -Rus geary
pacman -Rsn geary

any variation of above gives "target not found"

How to uninstall?

There may be something wrong with the install. At command-line i get:

$ geary
 [deb] 12:28:08.0444 Gtk: Connecting to session manager
 [deb] 12:28:08.0445 Gtk: Failed to get the GNOME session proxy: The name org.gnome.SessionManager is not owned

Re: [Solved] Can't Uninstall Pkg Built with makepkg, Installed with pacman

# pacman -U geary-git-r5090.30939534-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Installs the package geary-git

pacman -Rsn geary

Removes recursively with backup file removal the package geary which may be provided by geary-git but is not the package geary-git.

sorry 'bout that, but i couldn't see anything in the Code of conduct about blanking.

i didn't want to clutter the forum with a TGN. So my choice was:
- get reprimanded for a TGN or duplicating info that i put into another question
- or, get reprimanded for a blank post

What to do in this case?

thx

I restored the question. The solution offered above gives "target not found", as i explained in the OP.

thx

Try actually reading it:

Posting the equivalent of "Nevermind, I fixed it." in your thread or deleting your own posts for similar reasons is not only selfish and useless to the community, but a complete waste of resources and everyone's time.
