Re: [solved] update pacman -Syyu

pacman -Syyu

"man pacman", read up what the second "y" does and understand why you should absolutely not do that unless you really mean to (which is almost never)

Then try 

pacman -v --debug -Syu

for details on the error.

It's btw. because not only are you putting undue stress on the mirrors but also this is an awesome way to completely shred your pacman db if the mirror is bad or you run into some captive portal.

33 is EDOM…
stat the file (can't tell you the path because that tail doesn't include the configuration, the default cache location is /var/cache/pacman/pkg)

Re: [solved] update pacman -Syyu

Did you happen to drop the SigLevel config setting?

Re: [solved] update pacman -Syyu

Databases aren't signed.

Can you please not just post random stuff out of the output?
What about the perl-try-tiny package, did you address that? Does the update still fail?
If so, please post the entire output.
