[SOLVED] Pacman says there is nothing to do

I ran pacman -Syu a week ago, after not running for 2-3 weeks. It says core,extra,community is up to date when synchronizing, but then when starting full system upgrade it says 'there is nothing to do'.

I've ran it daily since then, and I get the same results each time - 'there is nothing to do'.

This seems wrong to me, since normally if I run this I will get updates almost daily.

Any thoughts on what to do? It's beginning to look like restoring the local db is the best option, although I hate to do that if not needed.

The thing you should do first is make sure you are using proper mirrors: https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/#successful select a few close to your location with a low delay time and a low score and put them at the top of the mirror list.
