Pamac / Add Remove Software stuck in "Checking Inter-conflicts"

Hi, English is not my main language so sorry for any mistakes, I tried to search about it here but I couldn’t find anything similar
Today I installed Manjaro KDE on my laptop (already used this version once) and for some reason Add/Remove Software aka Pamac firstly didn’t want to finish to update/download the software and I couldn’t close the program, so I restarted Manjaro, and I tried again: When I click to apply the updates on Add/Remove software it gets stuck for hours on “Checking Inter-conflicts”, and when it happens the close button also freezes

That’s my info:

I would really appreciate any help because I really don’t want to re-install Manjaro all over again, My internet connection is fine, I’m not much of a terminal command kind of person so If there’s anything I would have to do there please pass me the full command so I can copy-paste if necessary, thanks :frowning:

Please see this:

How to provide good information

And copy the output here. Including from attempted upgrade:

sudo pacman-mirrors -g && pamac upgrade --force-refresh

That was a known issue

That is fixed with the latest version of pamac,try updating with pacman this time

sudo pacman -Syu

Then pamac will work fine.
