Hi guys.

I did an update after a long time but after that I cannot run Syy successfully.
Can you help me with investigating such issues?

Sounds like you have XferCommand set in pacman.conf. Why?

....good question .
Nevertheless - I removed XferCommand line from pacman.conf and it worked like a charm.
Thx!

You should have no cause to run -Syy in any case. Not only is that a waste of bandwidth in most cases, it can lead to partial upgrades.

You should also get rid of the archlinuxfr repo, it is the source of nothing by problems.

In any case, please remember to mark your thread as solved by editing your first post and amending the topic title: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ow_to_post (please read the entire page, especially the section about posting pictures and code).
