You can fix by downgrade archlinux-appstream-data or use this command :

zcat /usr/share/app-info/xmls/community.xml.gz | sed 's|<em>||g;s|<\/em>||g;' | gzip > "new.xml.gz"
sudo cp new.xml.gz /usr/share/app-info/xmls/community.xml.gz
sudo appstreamcli refresh-cache --force

for appastreamcli install package appstream

I think xorgproto should be listed as a make dependency until the point it's no longer needed to build pamac. Pretty sure it's not needed to run pamac.

I guess it should be deleted as dependency, because Xorg havn,t need it anymore as dependency.

on a clean GNOME install, this package doesn't build anymore because it's missing xorgproto so ... I guess it should be added as dependency

@j1simon: with pacman 5.2 you need both commits:

https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/commit/d19dec498ce5bc037c44eb3e2b2df59d46941213

and

https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/commit/ec8218929d4b999ba12f02f040aeb3c0181b11a0

It doesn't compile the ...-2 version:

incremental updates worked well, but I couldn't update a PC left without updates for a little while ... I ended up using pamac-aur-git instead, which built just fine.

I'll try to go back to regular pamac-aur soon, but "not today".

It lacks the option --buildtype=release in meson line to disable debug options.

Run-time dependency gtk+-3.0 found: NO (tried cmake) src/meson.build:16:0: ERROR: Could not generate cargs for gtk+-3.0: A full log can be found at /home/exabits/.cache/yay/pamac-aur/src/pamac-1656246d332bc694fb61da6d64e30137a10f10f6/builddir/meson-logs/meson-log.txt ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

I finally tracked down this bug. It was due to the package mesa-aco-git. After installing standard mesa, gtk+-3.0 is found again and Pamac builds without problem.

Looks like the latest issue was fixed. Zeph, can you update this?
