This might not be the best forum to post this but... i don't know of a better one. When i do (because paru is currently broken because of libalpm issues):

After "Repo Make" clang-18.1.8-2 is listed. I installed this (don't remember how) a "long" time ago and want to get rid of it. But nothing i try *finds* the package:
~/.paru-git/src/paru/target/release/paru -R clang
error: target not found: clang
lap76:[craig]:~/.paru-git/src/paru/target/release$ ~/.paru-git/src/paru/target/release/paru -R clang-18.1.8
error: target not found: clang-18.1.8
~/.paru-git/src/paru/target/release/paru -R clang-18.1.8-2
error: target not found: clang-18.1.8-2
Any ideas?
I let it reinstall clang and then i can delete it:
~/.paru-git/src/paru/target/release/paru -R clang
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing clang breaks dependency 'clang' required by doxygen
paru-git works according to the paru AUR page, you can use that for now too if you don't want to wait for the fix to make it into the paru stable release:
$ cd /tmp
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru-git.git
$ cd paru-git/
$ makepkg -si
Although looking more carefully above, perhaps you did install paru-git and then it didn't find the records of regular paru. This is an internal paru design thing which I don't know about, but at a guess you might have a .cache/paru and .cache/paru-git directory now, or something like that.
