Could use some help thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

Try refreshing your mirrors.

sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

Be sure to let the command finish and do not interrupt the process.

I am having the same problem so I tried your advice. Unfortunately after going through the whole thing, After downloading 900 package updates and installing them and then the dozens of keys to check them. I then had to go through hundreds of keys and packages that said “file corrupt delete Y or N” and after all that time consuming aggravation I got a message that said “file corrupt 0 packages installed” and now I am back to needing 900 updates.

try these commands:

sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

ignore any errors, when done refreshing, rerun update again

Having same issue, tried earlier advice it failed. I seen your solution here and tried that, after going through that process I decided instead of waiting through all 900 upgrade files to maybe see it fail again I would try to update just Konsole. Now I get a new error screen window - Failure to commit transaction - "conflicting files:

• libxcrypt-compat: /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 already exists in filesystem (owned by glibc)
• lib32-libxcrypt-compat: /usr/lib32/libcrypt.so.1 already exists in filesystem (owned by lib32-glibc)"
  I tried 2 other files with the same results.

so if the refreshing didtn worked, and you still had keyring issues, open this file:
kate /etc/pacman.conf and edit this line:
SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional - its on the 45 line
to look like this:
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Save it and run update again.

@brahma This is not a nice option to just disable all security.

You could run it with pamac update --force-refresh --overwrite "*"

[brahma]

yes i know its not a good option, but if the usual commands not work, this is what remains …
never seen that command of yours being used in this case; do you have any experience running it on these keyring errors?

[mithrial]

No, of course it doesn’t help with the keyring issue but with the “file exists in filesystem” error.

The keyring should be fixed with the first of your commands:

sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro

I would recommend against updating the keys from the public keyservers. All required keys are in the keyring packages.
They could be reinstalled:

pamac reinstall archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring

THANKS! This worked for me and updated all of the now 927 updates needed by my computer. If only I could get it to dual properly without me having to go into F3 - bios recovery to see the dual boot screen.
Thanks again for this tip!
