[SOLVED] edk2-arm not in the AUR

Succulent of your garden · 2026-04-16 17:44:20

So today I was updating my only package in AUR at the moment, which is brave-bin.

So i made a paru -Sua and suddenly this appears:

:: Looking for devel upgrades...
:: packages not in the AUR: edk2-arm
 there is nothing to do

I was wondering, this package is in the PKGBUILD of brave ? https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … =brave-bin seem is not.

So now I'm asking why is this being showed ? Or bro just uninstall paru and grow up ?

The grown up way is to not use an AUR helper by the way

But I wonder why my system is making that info appears ?

Because you have a package installed that it can't locate in the AUR or official repos. Nothing to do with brave.

There was a package called edk2-arm in the Arch repos, but it has since been removed/merged with the qemu-system-arm-firmware package. The real question for me is why you're not getting prompted to replace the old package, despite the new one "replacing" it.

Do you get prompted if you run a regular 'pacman -Syu'?

I got this as well. For me, I switched from qemu-full to qemu-desktop (didn't need all of the non-x86_64 emulators anyway).

it shows package "Last Updated: 2026-04-16 15:14 UTC" so, pacman -Syu, now pacman "will" ask to replace.... (depends on mirrors too...)

Ah, well spotted. I also note that OP was using 'paru -Sua', which I guess was only meant to update AUR packages.

Most probably scenario that happened, to WorMzy and Et al.

Now pacman suggest the package change, probably I was like too in the morning making the update with pacman. Then i checked my AUR packages, and probably paru was more updated in time that my fastest mirror link in that time in the morning. Makes sense ?
