//What's odd is when I was having an issue yesterday at the command above I got an error that ncurses would be installed before its bash dependency, and the base programs were listed 1-50.

//I read online that this may be caused by an outdated system or issues with the keyring. So I was going about something with pacman-key and got a dirmgr error which was solved by dirmngr </dev/null
