After this update, I lost all repositories from pacman (or pamac, or whatever). Don’t know if that’s something known. I’m now on my way to search how tonrecover them all.

First; refresh your mirror list and your files database…
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Fyy -
Post your
/etc/pacman.conf.

My /etc/pacman.conf is empty, even after doing as requested
I have to add: since some time (Christmas?), after some upgrades, Manjaro uses to corrupt my .bashrc_aliases file each time I try to modify it. And there have been looooooooooooooot of different instabilities with the 6.18 kernel. I’m trying to avoid it. As a matter of fact, I’ve just checked that now I’m again in 6.18 (can’t understand why, I was sure not to choose it… probably I was not conscious last boot).
Have you received reports from instabilities or corruptions on 6.18? Perhaps related to using a luks-encrypted drive?
Mod edit: Merged posts and corrected a few small errors. 
I have been using 6.18 for a long time - no issues.
My encrypted laptops run 6.18, my gaming laptop runs 6.18 (Nvidia 5070) no issues.
Updates does not touch anything in the user’s home.
If your file /etc/pacman.conf is empty then one of two things
- either you have deleted the content by hand
- or you have serious file-system issues

Then you must have made an error when merging the .pacnew file.
See whether the package is still in the cache:
ls -hl /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman-7*
If it is, reinstall the newest that is found:
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman-7.1.0.r9.g54d9411-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
or unpack the archive and copy the /etc/pacman.conf from there directly

I’ve just created a new one, for I cannot understand why is that happening…
I din not remove it. And I’m checking everything, but everything seems fine now, I cannot undertand, reallñym nor have any idea of where to begin… let’s see how it continues
Checking with help by GeminiAI (is not so bad… if you know what are you doing, if not sometimes is a complete kamikaze). It suggest as a responsible, after analyzing some journals: ntsync.
Don’t know if that makes sense. I’m on 6.12 meanwhiles.
Impossible. That’s like saying we’ve got cold weather because the cat meowed.
As @anon33601770 said, you probably made a mistake when merging your .pacnew files.

I was supposing something like that…
So, let’s see how it goes.
Thanks!
I always take care with merging, but I cannot say no for sure, of course.
Let’s agree that was that, and check future.
Thanks!

… the file is still there, but empty
is what you said.
It really doesn’t matter how that happened, although it could be interesting to know,
if only to prevent similar things in the future.
Just replace the empty one with a real one … to restore proper function.

That command was not supposed to restore your /etc/pacman.conf.
Not possible, because updates never touch the user’s home directories.
No. I am running 6.18 myself.
I don’t use encryption. This is a desktop computer, and I always lock my screen when leaving my home.
