pacman has been failing to sync databases for a few month now which means ive not been able to install updates or new packages. I finally got some time last night to take a look. The error message I am getting is a 404 when trying to sync the eschwartz.db.
This only occurs/tries to check when I have AUR packages on.
Has the location changed? how do I get/set the new one?
Ive included only the first part, which is where the error shows as the rest just say “checking… package name” and then it asks if I want to edit the build files at the end

# - 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 $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.
