Pacman vs. Discover
#1
Hello,

for quite a while I used pacman and updated my system in the terminal using:
Code:
pacman -Syyu
Discover often failed to update or didn't report available updates.

Then, once during an update, the wifi connection failed and from then on I got an error message after every reboot saying "Offline update failed - Unexpected system error". Neither pacman nor Discover did any updates any more.
After some research I came to the conclusion, it would be easier to completely reinstall the system than keep trying to fix that problem.

I then reinstalled the latest beta release from https://forum.manjaro.org/c/arm/releases/102.

But now it's the other way round: Discover reports and performs updates while pacman says, there's nothing to do.
I feel completely unsure if either of those methods do their job correctly.

My question is: How can I know for sure, if there are any updates and if my system is up to date or not?

Current system data:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.14.17-1-MANJARO-ARM

Thank you!
