I guess you didn’t see this one:

Pamac fails to synchronise due unacceptable TLS certificate

Did you search before asking?
I’m pretty sure the answer to that is a “no”.

be that as it may:

Hi @dilmax, and welcome!

I’m not sure what would be necessary GUI-wise, but I can guide you through what I think will fix it with the CLI, which I suspect will also fix it in the GUI.

For that I think you’ll have to refresh your mirror pool and then force-update said databases:

  1. To refresh your mirror pool to the 5 fastest mirrors, based on your IP and thus location, run:
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack=5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
  1. Then force-refresh the databases:
pamac update --force-refresh

Hope this helps!

The error they are seeing is from AUR and has nothing to do with the mirrors.

It would add the --no-aur flag to only update packages from the repos:
pamac update --force-refresh --no-aur
