It appears either there was no internet connection at the time or there was an issue with that mirror. Currently that mirror is showing fully up to date, so maybe it was a temporary issue.

Oohoo …I c…thank you :smiley::smiley:

Today the same problem again…but internet was on and the mirror was also fine…this problem wasn’t present in Manjaro 20.1 series…might b that the pkgfile-update.service is starting very soon during boot or might b some kind of hardware issue on my side…

Does it succeed if you update manually?

sudo pkgfile -u
11

systemctl start pkgfile-update.service

After this command the service resumes and the error goes away…but comes again 2…3 boots later
