Starting full system upgrade... there is nothing to do

Just finished my Install of Arch and I can't seem to update anything it just gives me "Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do"

I tried pacman -Syy and it syncs my repos and I've checked and I do have packages that are out of date so they should upodate. My mirrors are also not out of date, I just checked them

If you just completed an install you won't need to update any packages. The installer downloads the latest packages from the repositories.

I've checked and I do have packages that are out of date so they should upodate

How did you check that?

Which packages do you think are out of date, and why do you think they are?

Openbox for example, when I type pacman -S openbox I can get a new version but when I do pacman -Syu it says everything is up to date.

Please paste the pull output pacman -S openbox. I think you'll find something along the lines of:

warning: openbox-3.5.0-7 is up to date -- reinstalling

The following will tell you which version you have installed
$ pacman -Q openbox

The current version is 3.5.0-7, which you can see here: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … 4/openbox/

Did you install openbox when you installed Arch? That package is a couple weeks over a year old, so I have to wonder where did you get the previous version from.
How exactly did you install Arch?
