When I’m trying to update using pacman, say using sudo pacman -Syyu, I’m getting a bunch of errors that I can’t seem to fix. Here’s what’s happening:
[10:48:10] snowden17_38@dell-latitude $ ~ sudo pacman -Syyu

Here are the contents of my /etc/pacman/conf, if that helps:

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required
# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Manjaro Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro`.
#
# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
# have identical names, regardless of version number
# - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
# - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

I’ve also tried the solutions prescribed in the following links. However, they did not work for me:
- Pacman -Syyu error: GPGME error: No data and failed to update due to invalid or corrupted database
- Help with pacman - GPGME error: No data; database is not valid
Do let me know if you need some more information. Thanks in advance.
