About the Heroic Launcher update

This shows us what is in the rpoes .. not what you have installed (use Qi for that).

heroic-games-launcher only exists in the AUR .. it could not be coming from somewhere else.
heroic-games-launcher-bin is in the repos and can fulfill the same depends .. so using a normal package manager should gave you the bin variant whether during install of heroic-games-launcher or if upgrading.

If you use an AUR-helper on the other hand the AUR is enabled and you very well could be getting and upgrading heroic-games-launcher from the AUR.

This has been covered elsewhere for people who do not use the AUR.

In case any user simply needs a one-liner to ensure they have the repo package then here is such;

sudo pacman -Syu heroic-games-launcher-bin
