[Solved] No updates detected with pacman and "... is newer than ..."

Hello, I moved from Ubuntu to ArchLinux 2 months ago and I love it
However, since my installation pacman not suggests me updates when I launch "sudo pacman -Syu"
I only have updates with AUR when i launch "yay -Syu"

I change the mirrorlist file with a new created by the mirror generator and launch "pacman -Syyu".
Now when I launch "sudo pacman -Syu" it tells me again that there aren't updates and before it tells me that a lot of packages are newer than extra, core or community.

I launch "sudo pacman -Syuu' and have a problem of dependancies at the end of the return of the command :
"resolution of dependencies…
searching for conflicts between packages…
error: transaction preparation failed (dependency satisfaction failed)
:: the installation of libcanberra (0.30+2+gc0620e4-3) breaks the «libcanberra-pulse» dependency required by pavucontrol"

So since 2 months I haven't updates, my kernel is still 5.12.15-arch1-1.

I begin to think my laptop is not secure anymore.

Anyone can help me please ?
I precise that I'm French so my English is not excellent and I translate command's return with a translator.

What mirror is at the top of your mirrorlist? The error you posted shows it trying to install a package that's been obsolete for over 3 months.

It was "Server = http://archlinux.de-labrusse.fr/$repo/os/$arch"

So i change the top's mirror and I have updates now. I think it's good.
I just have to sort my mirror list now.

The problem come from my installation, I run this command :
"reflector --country France --age 12 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist" and never modified "mirrorlist" file after that.
I just understand I have to regularly check mirrors status of mirrors listed in this file.

Tank you for your help

No, the new mirror that you have at the top of your mirrorlist is also out of date. Current kernel version in the repos is 5.13.13.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
