This might work
pamac update --aur --force-refresh
install syncthing from the official repo (in needed);
sudo pacman -S syncthing
and then build syncthingtray;
pamac build syncthingtray

~ The pinned comment on the AUR website says:
Important remarks:
…
Like with any other package a rebuild is required when the soname of a dependency like boost changes
…
It is required to build dependencies (that are not provided by Arch Linux itself) before building this package. So you need to buildc++utilities,qtutilities,qtforkawesomeandsyncthingtrayin that order.
Vielleicht lieber yay statt pamac benutzen?
Than you all for the support, All good now.
Would you please share with us how you solved it?

My assumption is that the error they were encountering was because they had not re-built the other AUR packages that syncthingtray depends upon, as per @Nachlese’s post:
I didn’t pick up on that as syncthingtray built fine on my system, because it built & installed those dependencies in the same transaction. However, those AUR packages were already installed on the OP’s machine, and they were not rebuilt with the re-build of syncthingtray.
The OP might want to install the rebuild-detector package from the repos. After any update they can run the command checkrebuild -v which should (hopefully) advise which AUR packages need to be rebuilt against updated dependencies.
As the OP posted that everything is now good about an hour after @Nachlese’s post, I’m assuming that is what fixed it.
However, as the original issue for this topic was to do with updating their system, and another member also posted their own update issues, @fdietreich is going to have to work out which reply helped the most and mark it as a solution.
