You probably have pacman aliased to sudo pacman, there is a bug in zsh
completions of sudo with env vars on the command line, which kitty adds
for TERMINFO.

Either wait for the bug in sudo completions to be fixed or add no-sudo
to shell_integration in kitty.conf.

Thanks for your attention to this issue.
I will wait for the fix from zsh completions community.

[kovidgoyal]

No need, this should workaround it: 492ec3d

That's good news! Sudo completions can now work after updating kitty .
