Pamac: multilib.db: lock file missing

This is a recurring issue with the CDN77 - something goes haywire in the certificate chain.

It seems the file is only partially downloaded and permissions is wrong - I have seen this form time to time.

sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac*

Disable the check for AUR updates in Pamac preferences - or edit the file /etc/pamac.conf and comment the setting.

 $ cat /etc/pamac.conf
[...]
## When AUR support is enabled check for updates from AUR:
#CheckAURUpdates
[...]
