unable to install applications
#2
I also get the " "No Metadata URIs for vendor directory". But, it doesn't seem to cause a problem using Discover. Others are getting it, too.

It's probably the locked database thats making it unable to refresh. When this happened to me on my Pinephone Pro, I deleted the file db.lck

$ sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

and then tried again. It worked.

Im not an expert. Please use due diligence before taking my advice. I dont think it will harm anything to try. But, in the past I've thought that just before I started saying bad words.

Btw, you can go into settings on Discover and uncheck vendor directory and it will make the other message go away. It is apparently not used.
