This command should almost be pinned somewhere :slight_smile:

I got strange errors not too long ago when doing an update and I’m almost sure it was because the mirror was not up to date (my bad).

I now always do a pacman-mirrors (default is status) and wait some time after an announcement is made in the Announcements category.

Like here? :wink:

Yeah, but an additional comment should be added, in large font and bold :slight_smile: , if your pacman update fails for any reason, try this first. Manjaro Moderators must have this response programmed on a shortcut :slight_smile:

The tricky thing about this situation, from an end user’s perspective, the manifestation of a mirror which is not up to date or in sync with a users sync DB can vary.

I don’t want to stir the pot, but the command above doesn’t include the second y as shown in the wiki.

It does now. :wink:

But doesnt need to according to recent tests and suggestions …

(I have tested myself some mirror changes and it seems double y is no longer needed unless there really is some sort of problematic db issue)


No … theres a thousand ways someone might not be operating their updates properly. Thats a common one, sure … but I am not going to trade the collection of sane manuals for a handful of “THIS IS BOLD HEY NEW USER IF YOU DO THIS IT MAYBE WORK KTHNX YAY” in random places.

I was being more silly than serious.
