[arch-general] pacman reset procedure
The pacman data bases I have apparently got broken and will not update. Connection to the internet is good. What is the procedure to have pacman reset itself and clear out any broken parts so it becomes able to update? -- United States has 633 Billionaires with only 10 doing any annual significant giving.
"The pacman data bases I have apparently got broken and will not update." What specifically does the pacman error say?

When I have a corrupt pacman db, I create a folder, move all of it in there, then do pacman -Syv and it rebuilds it.
Failed to synchronize all error failed to update each database and finally error failed to synchronize all data bases. On Fri, 27 Nov 2020, Nate DeMare via arch-general wrote:

Specific, exact errors. And don't top post.

Are you sure that this is really an error in your database and not just an error of your mirror? I've had similar errors multiple times, and every time it was the mirror I used that had some error. Just using a different mirror in /etc/pacman/mirrorlist fixed it, I never had to intervene manually.
Yeah, this sounds more like a mirror problem than a database problem. On Fri, Nov 27, 2020, 9:16 AM LuKaRo <lists@lrose.de> wrote:
