How to remove or block FAKEROOT octopi garuda hooks package?

Issues & Assistance
1

Garuda 2.6.22-1 update today installed FAKEROOT package and I neither need it or want it.

System will not let me remove it, nor will it allow me to remove the octopi , claiming garuda-hooks needs it.

This feels sad, as I was an early adopter of Garuda back in 2019. I am not interested in installing this pkg on this machine or os: Please can someone advise how to remove it or block it.

systemctl Compilers:
gcc: 13.2.1 clang: 16.0.6 Packages: pm: pacman pkgs: 1720 libs: 411 tools: octopi,pamac,paru
Client: shell wrapper v: 5.2.26-release inxi: 3.3.31

Fakeroot has just been updated yesterday (2024-01-31 21:00 UTC) to 1.33-2.
It has always been in our iso profiles.
There is nothing to be worried about.
