Yes that seems to be the case. But on 12th of June, I did a yay update. But only librewolf-bin was updated. libgdata (0.18.1-5) was last updated on March 05 2026 for me.

Also I did some digging around. Seems like any packages that were installed using a AUR helper (like yay in my case) would leave logs in the /var/log/pacman. You can see them like this,

grep "package_name" /var/log/pacman

For yay installed packages you can see they are getting installed from ~/.config/yay/package_name. But for my libgdata, it simply says [ALPM] installed libgdata (0.18.1-5).

You can also check the build/install date of a package with pacman -Qi
