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".
If nothing depends on linux or linux-firmware, what is the point of installing dummy packages? Dummy packages are IMHO just a very broken and hacky way to work around unnecessary dependencies. This doesn't appear to be the case here. Best, Tinu
