But do I still have to wait until the mirror have been updated after doing this command in terminal ?
If the first part is successful, you should been using another mirror, which should be up to date.

Yeah ! Now the update went smooth and fine !
Thanks xabbu and everyone for helping me !

But I donāt think it matters if I have several mirrors instead of just one.
Why put all your eggs in one basket? 
Exactly my point. 
When you change mirrors you need to use -Syyu
Having several mirrors is not a problem.
Please follow the instructions in Post

Done !
A mirror list with several mirrors is not a problem. It might even be a good thing.
You can but usually you donāt need to do yy even after a mirror change.
The Manajro wiki also donāt use yy and it will work fine.

Good to know !
Nope, I followed this all āliveā and played around with choosing only sweden, denmark and norway, and if I didnāt use yy I got the ānot authorizedā error. Running sudo pacman-mirrors --country Sweden,Norway,Denmark && sudo pacman -Syyu fixed it.
I also got very confused since there is zero mention of this in the wiki article.
What kind of error is that? There is not http error status code called ānot authorizedā, there is āUnauthorizedā but this is a strange one with mirrors.
Anyway, if you switch mirrors form a not up to date mirror to an up to date mirror, there is no need for yy . If you play around you might need to use yy and of course if you switch branches you need to use yy.
Seriously?? 
I can just tell you what happened.
The aur broke without using yy.
I have played around a little more to learn how pacman and list work, and it seems it sometimes also updates above what manjaro has, but a sudo pacman -Syyuu downgrades back to stable if anybody bumps into that problem as well.
The AUR has nothing to do with pacman

This is not pacman .
You have not the correct permissions the write this file. It is as simple as that. But this has nothing to do with pacman .

sure, it just āmagicallyā stops working if I redo the exact same procedure, breaking aur, then when I use yy it MAGICALLY starts working again.
Iām not going to argue, I was hoping for some info on why this is happening so I can learn.
Have a good day sir.
Well, I sorry but this is just fundamentally wrong. You might say braeking pamac, but this is also not correct, since pamac finished successfully.
You seems to misunderstood the output you get from pamac.
Everything is fine, refreshing the AUR worked, nothing is brocken.
Not related to the AUR. The problem is that the pamac process has not the correct permissions the write the new normal Mirror DBās the a tmp place. I donāt know why pamac this needs, but it is also not a fatal error.

Perhaps bedna needs to start his own thread about the Pamac problem ?

Iām not saying it breaks pamac, I say it breaks the connection to the AUR mirror, pamac is only the tool I use to update.
Yes, after I ran the command using Suyy instead of Suy.
All Iām saying and posted the direct output from terminal, is that pamac upgrade -a gets an ERROR MESSAGE WHEN TRYING TO UPDATE AUR, if I update the lists with sudo pacman-mirrors --country Sweden,Norway,Denmark && sudo pacman -Syu.
If I update my lists with sudo pacman-mirrors --country Sweden,Norway,Denmark && sudo pacman -Syyu it not only changes packages on my computer, after that pamac upgrade -a completes successfully.
I went against my priciples responding to this, but it seems you donāt understand and mix up the order I posted the terminal output.
Would still love to know why, otherwise I see no point in discussing.
I donāt have a problem, I posted how to āsolve itā, I WANT TO LEARN. But sure, lets not instead. xD
I think that we donāt understand your problem bedna and you need to be more specific with your question .
You need to start a new thread.
This forum is all about learning about Manjaro and Linux and I am very grateful for it.
