[Solved] Unable to update with pacman -Syyu

Hi,

I am trying to update my system from last 2 days. But I get following error

: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y

Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] ^C

so far I have done following

1) Updated mirrorlist.

2)

sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/gnupg /etc/pacman.d/gnupg-original

3)

sudo pacman-key --init

4)

sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux

5)

sudo pacman-key --refresh-key

But I am still getting error when I issue

 pacman -Syyu

Please help

Re: [Solved] Unable to update with pacman -Syyu

Your first step should have been what pacman prompted you to do: delete the corrupted download.

If that isn't sufficient, check your system time as advised in the troubleshooting section for this error in the wiki.

Pacman seems to be locked by the looks of it.

Does "/var/lib/pacman/db.lck" exist?
If it does then try deleting the lock file with pacman closed.

Edit: Is that the same error you always get?

Edit: If that doesn't work try a quick 'pacman -Scc' to clean out your cache

Nothing in indicates the database is locked.
