Hello I have a fresh install here, and got many errors when updating the system. Downloading the around 1,5GB update was so slow, then I tried a USB thethering with my phone and not sure why it was much faster. After the update, internet was not working, I had reviously cofigured gufw as public, changed to home and the internet was working again.
Now after after new program I install I get a message “impossible to block database”.
Let me know if some logs are needed.
Thanks in advance
On a new install the mirrorlist is copied from the install medium. That list is a randomized list created when the iso was build - which may not be optimal for your location
The message about ‘block database’ is more likely ‘lock database’ and will occur if the previous package transactions were ended abruptly.
Remove the file /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
sudo rm -f /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
Then generate a more reasonable mirrorlist
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent
After the regeneration run a full system sync
sudo pacman -Syyu
Then you may install the packages you need

Thanks, it solved my problem. And thanks also for explaining how it works on a new ISO install.
