Everytime I run pamac upgrade --aur --force-refresh I get the following two messages:

pamac upgrade --aur --force-refresh

Nothing to do.
Transaction successfully finished.

Even purging /var/tmp/pamac/ has no effect.

What does this return:

ls -al /var/tmp/pamac

How did you “purge” it? sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac should be sufficient.

Or is that partition maybe out of space and wrote the file only partially? The file is updated every five minutes on the server, so wait a bit and try again.

I emptied that folder using Dolphin.

I still have enough free space on my ext4 partition.

After waiting for sometimes, I’m still getting those errors:
