Hello, folks.
I don't quite understand why these two commands produce different results, checkupdates performs the same functions, but for some reason it has empty output, while pacman -Qu produces a list of packages.
Could u please help me?
$ pacman -Qu
aom 3.8.2-1 -> 3.9.0-1
appstream 1.0.2-1 -> 1.0.3-1
firefox-developer-edition 126.0b4-1 -> 126.0b5-1
python-inflect 7.2.0-1 -> 7.2.1-1
tracker3 3.7.1-2 -> 3.7.2-1
While the checkupdates is epmpty.
$ checkupdates
Thanks in advance.

Well that's not what I expected ...
These two commands should generally produce different outputs - but in the opposite way. `pacman -Qu` should never be able to return anything on a properly maintained system. Stop doing partial upgrades, and properly upgrade your system.
But then there's the question of why checkupdates is failing to give any results ... that's odd.
