[Solved] Pacman error: pacman.confesting (download library error)
My system has not updated for a couple of days, for the last day it has been running successfuly but showing as up to date with no updates to install, which is unusual for 36hours as there's always something to update.
As of today I updated my mirrorlist to the lastest version and this is the output I get on trying to update, a quick google of these lines and searching on here gets me no results, any help on where to start looking would be appreciated.

Is community-tsudo leafpad /etc/pacman.confesting a custom repository or something?

Re: [Solved] Pacman error: pacman.confesting (download library error)
WTF is /etc/pacman.confesting? If should be /etc/pacman.conf. Check your files.
Is community-tsudo leafpad /etc/pacman.confesting a custom repository or something?
Nah, it's 'community-t'+'esting'+'/etc/pacman.conf'+'sudo' ...

Re: [Solved] Pacman error: pacman.confesting (download library error)
Please post your "/etc/pacman.conf" file. It looks like you accidentally typed in / erased some words. 
EDIT: Looks like karol may have solved the mystery.

Re: [Solved] Pacman error: pacman.confesting (download library error)
Also, while the above is almost certainly the cause of (and implies the solution to) the problem, be very careful with a `pacman -Sy` command. I'd recommend never ever using that command: don't use '-Sy' without 'u'. Of couse this will do no harm if the next step is to update - but running "-Sy" should be avoided lest it becomes a dangerous habit.

Does https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=-last_update contain anything that was supposed to be updated on your system?

In the middle of fixing this, I see that [testing] got disabled. I'd either {re-enable it} or {disable the other two testing repositories and issue a pacman -Syuu}.

Re: [Solved] Pacman error: pacman.confesting (download library error)
Yes there are quite a few updates that should have been picked up, but pacman has been showing my system as up to date for the last 2 days.

Is [testing] enabled? I hinted at this in my last comment.

Re: [Solved] Pacman error: pacman.confesting (download library error)
Either disable every testing repo, and update with doube u (with -Syuu), or enable testing repo (you accidentaly disabled it) and update as usual.

Re: [Solved] Pacman error: pacman.confesting (download library error)
You have a problem with outdated lib32-gtk3 package. Since it is not in official repos pacman has no idea where to get it. The fastest way would be updating just that package and updating with either one of the methods you have tryed.

Re: [Solved] Pacman error: pacman.confesting (download library error)
You'll have to remove that package and any packages that rely on it, update gtk3, then reinstall those packages, as attempting to update the lib32-gtk3 package will also fail since it relies on the updated gtk3, which will fail to update because of the outdated lib32-gtk3 in some sort of inception style update requirement. lol
AUR has the updated version of lib32-gtk3 from what I can see, if you need it.

Re: [Solved] Pacman error: pacman.confesting (download library error)
Fixed!
Disabled the testing repos, removed both gtk3 and lib32-gtk3, updates ran fine, then reinstall gtk3, then lib32-gtk3 and the packages that need those.
Re-enabled the testing repos and everything else updated fine.
Thanks for the help!
I'll need to be more careful which terminal I'm typing on in the future.
