Today I updated my system.
At the end these packages have issues. Here is the pacman log.

Failed to clone libdbusmenu-gtk2 build files
I tried few package install one by one. All of them failed.
The AUR has been under a constant DDoS attack for months on end now, so being able to install anything from there is a matter of hit-and-miss, really.
I’m afraid the only recourse is to be patient and to try again later, one package at a time.

Unfortunately those packages have dependencies. In case of a package is downloaded successfully then the dependency download is failing.
The easy way I often do it is by using yay.
Not pamac.
yay will access the AUR directly.
The way I also do it in a lot of cases is:
https://aur.archlinux.org/
search for the package name
when found, on the right side under “Package Actions”: download snapshot
It’s an archive containing the PKGBUILD and every other thing needed.
unpack that, change directory into what was just unpacked
makepkg -i
If there are dependencies, they will be listed on the web site, they will be listed in the PKGBUILD
and they will make the build fail if not present, so you can tend to them first and then come back to the failed package.
The very first thing I’d do though is:
make sure that you actually (still) need these packages - and if you do:
make sure that the AUR is the only way to get them
because often that changes over time and what you want might be available from the repos.

Thanks for the advice.
I don’t know those packages are needing.
I would like to solve the issue without snapshots.
Anyway, thanks again.
Who will or can know if not you?
Nothing from AUR is really needed .
It’s you who once decided that you wanted to have these.
Those are mostly libraries - they are not needed by themselves, but by some program.
I see only a few actual programs:
pinta - a drawing program
video-downloader - name speaks for itself
winegui - whatever that might be for - Windows programs installed through wine can be used without that
I’d try to remove it all and look at the fallout …
then install the three programs again if you really need them

Well, that’s good to hear.
All seem to be sourced via the AUR.
TL:DR
DISCLAIMER: AUR packages are user produced content. Any use of the provided files is at your own risk.
sudo pacman-mirrors -aS unstable
sudo pacman -Syu base-devel
When you sync your system any CUSTOM package may cease to function without warning OR your system may cease to function due to a CUSTOM package - therefore one must remove all CUSTOM packages before an issue can be validated as related to Manjaro.
custom packages - unsupported - you are on your own!
Examples
→ Spectacle…
GTK2 has been purged from Manjaro repositories – that may also have something to do with it.

Ok, so are you using Pamac? You really should say what you’re doing when you say you have a problem… or more to the point, HOW you’re doing it.
Personally I had some errors doing queries with yay, but never with pamac… pamac is the correct tool for Manjaro, and Manjaro caches the AUR.
1 minuter 39 seconds with Pamac
pamac upgrade
