Remove the third party repository from your /etc/pacman.conf and resync.
Then report the issue to the repository maintainer.
yes what Strit is saying… however, as you said you didnt update for several months, so be ready for possible issues with your system…
Thanks - I’m not sure how that got into the conf in the first place or which package its there to support.
Ive commented it out and now get the following
Synchronizing package databases...
no servers configured for repository
Is there a way I can identify which package uses it so I can remove it?
try these commands:
sudo pacman-mirrors -c all
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu
...
::Singapore : https://download.nus.edu.sg/mirror/manjaro/stable

Seem to get a similar error
so try this:
sudo rm -f /var/lib/pacman/sync/*
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent
sudo pacman -Syyu
Thanks for persevering… same error
sudo pacman -Syyu
:: Synchronising package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)
try this:
sudo sed -i 's/SigLevel.*/SigLevel = Never/' /etc/pacman.conf
sudo pacman -Syy gnupg archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring --ignore manjaro-system
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -Syy gnupg archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring --ignore manjaro-system
:: Synchronising package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)
so navigate to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and open the mirrorlist file and is it empty?
try put in there this:

are you properly connected to internet?
try running this:
sudo pacman -Syu --debug
Remove this, or comment it out. And don’t edit things if you don’t understand them. Also I see you have python in IgnorePkg, that will end up well too.
I dont recall ever adding this directly to the file, and commented it out on Brahma’s advice.
Now that I have removed the [eschwartz] bit i think thats got it working again.
Its asking me to install 566 updates so i’ll review this.
Thankyou all for the help
No one else did. If you didn’t add it directly then you ran some command from some random guide that added it. Same goes for IgnorePkg = python. I won’t be surprised if you break the system after very next update., since this is a partial upgrade.
You should also restore original config files brahma made you modify.
