Hi, I’d like to add something I found related to this subject.
When typing
sudo pacman -Syu
the output is as follows:
:: Synchronizing package databases…
error: failed retrieving file ‘core.db’ from manjaro.cu.be : The requested URL returned error: 404
core is up to date
error: failed retrieving file ‘extra.db’ from manjaro.cu.be : The requested URL returned error: 404
extra is up to date
error: failed retrieving file ‘community.db’ from manjaro.cu.be : The requested URL returned error: 404
community is up to date
error: failed retrieving file ‘multilib.db’ from manjaro.cu.be : The requested URL returned error: 404
multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade…
So the system is up to date, yet there seems to be something not working correctly. Any ideas.
Many thanks
Check your internet connection. if it’s OK then update your mirrors before updating:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu
Check the output of
uname -m
If you get x86_64
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syyu
If you get i686 - you are using 32-bit - which is unsupported - and you will have to mogrify your system to Archlinux32
