May be there is one point missing:
Because i often can´t access AUR with my orginal IP, i am using a VPN (Proton) when doing updates. So, i removed shiny-mirrors, and did a reinstall with pacman
On one pc there is no problem.

At first, I thought this only happened after several attempts.
My theory (but not yet verified):
The problem only occurs when the VPN is connected to a specific country.
Possibly, if the starting point on the internet has a certain range of IP addresses that GeoIP cannot resolve (cleanly). (At least that’s how I understand the error message.)
The VPN’s destination country is selected randomly (unless I choose it manually). This explains why I had problems on one PC but not on the other.
