Pacman gives me many Warnings

Support Software & Applications

Hi,
I wanted to update my system with

sudo pacman -Syyu

There were many packages to be renewed.

Unfortunately, the update mirrors were soooo slow. So I stopped the update process early and renewed the mirrors with:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f
sudo pacman -Syyu

After this there are no packages to be updated anymore (WHAT??), but instead I get many warnings:

...and many more

Warning: local version is newer than [repository name]

Therefore nothing gets updated anymore.

I dont quite understand what and if anything has gone wrong here. THank you for any explanation and help!

Try this again. I had to do that too yesterday, because I got the same errors as you. They are caused by a mirror that’s out of sync.

If you are referring to the manjaro.re mirror - is not out of sync - but the content is cached globally by cloudflare which causes different content to be served.

I tested this method a couple of years back and while it works perfect for static files - it works not so well for a mirror where packages often changes.
