After two rock-solid years adding updates I am now unable to update:

Searched for solution and did not find. I think this is likely an easy one for someone who knows what they’re doing. Tried updating both via terminal and GUI. Help?

Thank you, got the same result when I tried this:
chuck@chuck-cyperpower ~]$ sudo pacman -Syuu

My bad, here’s with pamac:
[chuck@chuck-cyperpower ~]$ sudo pamac -Syuu
Available actions:
pamac --version
pamac --help, -h [action]

remove lib32-db and try again.
sudo pacman -R lib32-db
… more generally:
if something can’t be installed because “some other thing” requires another version of it:
remove “some other thing”

sudo pamac -Syuu
Invalid command.
pacman
and pamac
are two different things.
Do not use sudo
with pamac
.
No need to use the -uu
option normally.

Also from the terminal:
pacman --help
pamac --help

Very grateful for your help–made a note for future use. I removed orphans and successfully upgraded. Pacman shows up to date. Pamac updated except for two items: dbus-x11 and python2 both AUR. Other items were updated individually.
even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.
Let me render some more unsolicited advice.
dbus-x11 can be replaced by dbus (not AUR, normal repository)
python2 - you probably don’t need it but for some other AUR package that you also do not need or can use from the normal repo
things change over time - and these two packages are some artifacts of that

Huge advice, Thank You! The most worthwhile thing I learned is to ask for help and be patient. I did repair python2. I knew it is a programming language and did not understand why I needed it or remember how I came to install it and dbus-x11.
