Hi,
first run
pactree -r linux-firmware
pactree -r linux
to ensure that without doubts nothing depends on those packages.
It unlikely does. If the packages are definitively unneeded, build empty
dummy packages and e.g. use the year as "epoch".
pkgname=linux
pkgver=05.16
pkgrel=1
epoch=2019
pkgdesc="Dummy package"
arch=('any')
provides=('linux')
pkgname=linux-firmware
pkgver=05.16
pkgrel=1
epoch=2019
pkgdesc="Dummy package"
arch=('any')
provides=('linux-firmware')
I don't know if this workaround is need, but is should do the job.
Regards,
Ralf
