Error: file ‘/boot/vmlinuz-5.12-X86-64’ not found

I was at the middle of the most recent update and I had a black out, so, my system crashed and when rebooting I get the message

error: file ‘/boot/vmlinuz-5.12-X86-64’ not found

I have already checked the steps offered in the following link

However, when I do the

rm -f /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
pacman -Syu

It gives me multiple errors regarding imagemagick, which is one of the packages being updated. The first error is the following

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
imagemagick: /usr/bin/Magick++-config exists in filesystem

And it has several other lines like these showing many different files that already exist in filesystem.

I try to directly install the kernel with sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510 like it is recommended in the post above, but I get the same kind of error.

You’re doing all of that in the manjaro-chroot environment?

On an unrelated note, do you have a Timeshift backup?

Yep, I do

sudo su -
manjaro-chroot -a

Then

rm -f /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
pacman -Syu

Here is all the output I get

manjaro ~]# manjaro-chroot -a
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1.  Check your device.map.

And to answer your question, I unfortunately do not have it.

What if you remove imagemagick, and then try to proceed with the update?

You can install it again later.

Or even, why not try to forecefully reinstall everything first?

pamac reinstall *

pamac update --force-refresh

pamac upgrade -a

mkinitcpio -P

update-grub

Using pamac reinstall imagemagick did the trick. Afterwards I just follwed the steps from the other post and everything ran smoothly this time
