cant update packages using `sudo pacman -Syu`

every time I try to update packages I end up with a lot of conflicts,
im not experienced with arch so unfortunately cant figure out the problem myself, can only guess theres probably something wrong with the mirrorlist
thanks in advance for help

the following output is what I get after the command

sudo pacman -Syu
error: failed to register database 'sublime-text' (database already registered)

Re: cant update packages using `sudo pacman -Syu`

Does upgrading the keyring first help?

sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring && sudo pacman -Su

Also please merge your pacnew files please (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … nd_Pacsave) since [community] is not a thing for quite some time now.

Re: cant update packages using `sudo pacman -Syu`

I have the same problem with an older installation which is now up to date thanks to this thread suggesting running a for loop.

Now when trying to install Steam:

• $ sudo pacman -S steam
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (3) lib32-nss-3.104-1  lib32-sqlite-3.46.1-1  steam-1.0.0.81-2

When I try to re-install all packages to see if that fixes it, I am receiving the same error:

Other things I have tried as root:

ntpd -qg
hwclock -w
find /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ -iname "*.part" -delete
pacman -Sy --needed archlinux-keyring && pacman -Su
rm -R /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate

As I was researching this I was able to fix it and now steam installs, and I believe running these 3 lines as root was the key:

rm -R /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate

This is a very common problem you can find by searching these forums for 'lordheavym@gmail.com' (how I found this thread).
