Try forcing a refresh… 
pamac update --force-refresh --aur --devel
Keep in mind that pamac does not access the AUR directly. It uses a local cache instead.
If all else fails, you could try yay instead, which does access the AUR directly.
Same error.
Maintainer forgot to update the checksum?
pamac update --force-refresh --aur --devel ✔

Hmm, from what I can tell, it’s trying to build an ALPM package by extracting an AppImage, and that’s where it goes wrong.
However, I also notice this in your output above…
I don’t have a /var/lib/pacman/sync/download-wNMhAX (or similarly named) directory on my system. So it could in theory be a pamac issue.
Next up: try yay.
yay -Syu
The command took a long time to connect to repo, failed on 1st attempt.
After 10 mins, it finally get the job done.
Thanks for the guide!
