I just noticed trying to update PAMAC reported “Last Refresh:” was a few days ago, though I refreshed several times.
It worked fine after I selected from the menu ( top right ) “Refresh databses”
I just thought to report this, it may be a bug.
Any suggestions to avoid this in the future or do I need to “Refresh databses” from time to time?
Thanks.
$ pamac update
$ sudo pacman -Syu
I guess if your mirror is outdated it will not detect updates, as the reference server is outdated. Make sure to have a proper mirror (Manjaro CDN works great, it is one of the Global servers), and you should not have update issues.
Mirrors syncronize at different intervals - so patience is a keyword and the behavior you see is not a bug but a misconfiguraion on your part.
Default pamac uses the pacman equivalent when syncing from a mirror
pacman -Syu
If you have changed your pamac settings - to not check for updates on package install - then you disable the necessary database update - which in turn will make your system partially synced - which in turn is an unsupported state.
To illustrate what is abstracted by buttons in pamac settings.
Refreshing database works because this is equivalent to
pacman -Sy
When you disable checking in pamac - when updating - pamac will use the equivalent
pacman -Su
On package sync the equivalent is
pacman -S
Thank you very much for your guidance.
I do not remember I changed my repos. It is still the defaults I believe.
This is my
sudo nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Is it OK?
Do I need to add/remove/configure anything?
