error: 'linux510-headers-5.10.84-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst': could not find or read package

if you are in testing

pacman -U linux510-headers-5.10.85-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Those warnings appeared now for the first time, when I removed the server line from /etc/pacman.conf

I am not in testing but I tried, same result, cannot find package

then pacman -S linux510

[manjaro-gnome /]# pacman -S linux510

then sync , exit and try to reboot

Dumb question, what do you mean with sync?
Just as command?

Edit: Just read about the syscall, and know what it does :slight_smile:

yes sync then exit

Still on the same error that it cannot find /boot/vmlinuz-5.10-x86_64 and I need to load the kernel.

Do I have to adapt the grub file?

press Esc on boot to see Grub
or
update your Grub menu

GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu

sudo nano /etc/default/grub
sudo update-grub

I am in grub menu, what shall I do here

go to advanced and choose kernel

All the listed kernels there do not work. All report the same error
