Hello,
Since a few days, when I want to do the updates, my brave terminal tells me “there is nothing to do”
It doesn’t seem normal to me, so I appeal to the geeks of this forum.
Pacman.conf has updated today and has been almost empty. He returned the old version.

@NoBoss and @ElHipo read the info from the links I posted above. Maybe your mirrors are still syncing?

Did you run it with sudo?
Yes man.
I’ll message you directly.
Second that: this morning (I’d say 8 hours ago) there was nothing to do. Based on the posts by @NoBoss and @ElHipo I just repeated it and got this:
My mirrors are mainly in India, Singapore and NZ

I’m not sure how the change to pacman.conf applies to the AL repos, are they still enabled?
Yes, they are being checked, saw it flashing by
Almost the community repo went in extra, the rest went to AUR so for NOW it is safe to keep:
[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
The way I’ve done.
sudo pacman -Syu “pacman>=6.0.2-7”
Now I have a new file: /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew that I have merged with /etc/pacman.conf and used reflector to get a new mirrorlist then:
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -Su
And now I have updates
So … wtf is going on here???
From what I can tell AUR is now migrated to Gitlab …
What does a normal user need to do? Is it just a
sudo pacman -Syu “pacman>=6.0.2-7”
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -Su

^ well that seems to do sweet FA for me. Manually comparing /etc/pacman.conf to /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew it looks like all I need to do is comment out the
[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
in my existing pacman.conf and I’ll be good to go . . .

than maybe a
"sudo cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bak"
and a
"sudo reflector --latest 5 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist"

All I can say is that the command sudo pacman -Syu “pacman>=6.0.2-7” worked okay for me. I compared the new conf and the old and the only change I made was to manually rremove the community repo entry.
I have been receiving updates okay.

@knob @Dobbie03 I did that because at the time I wanted to update ALL mirrors were not synced and just 5mm ago I went with:
sudo pacman -Syy
:: Synchronizing package databases…
core 132.2 KiB 515 KiB/s 00:00 [##########################] 100%
extra 8.2 MiB 8.56 MiB/s 00:01 [##########################] 100%
community 45.0 B 254 B/s 00:00##########################] 100%
So community seems to respond something…

It responds because you have not commented it out from pacman .conf. At the moment it is there just empty. When they delete it you may see errors looking up a non-existent repo.

I havent done anything and buisiness seems to be completely normal as far as updates are concerned
I guess I should I continue to fazer nothing, despite my urge to fix it till it breaks?
