I am currently unable to install anything using the add/remove software program or via pamac install in the terminal. In the terminal, when I run sudo pamac install package-name I always receive the following error:
Error: Failed to prepare transaction: invalid or corrupted database
When running pamac update --no-aur it fails with the output:

I also get this same error when using the add/remove software GUI. Posts I have seen while researching this are always trying to change settings with pacman but it seems to me this is a pamac issue. Pacman is working just fine. I have refreshed my mirrors and also ran sudo rm -R /var/lib/pacman/sync which seemed to work for some users but not for me. Any help would be appreciated.
