Re: [SOLVED]pacman error when updating?

If you are referring to these messages:

debug: registering sync database 'core'
debug: database path for tree core set to /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db
debug: "/var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db.sig" is not readable: No such file or directory
debug: sig path /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db.sig could not be opened
debug: got error 43 at _alpm_gpgme_checksig (../lib/libalpm/signing.c: 593) : missing PGP signature
debug: missing optional signature

That's expected — pacman (libalpm) supports repository database signing but Arch itself does not provide signatures for the repository databases.

thank you for reply,

i was concern about this

[musicarch@musicArch ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for musicarch: 
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra.db failed to download
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from mirror.cyberbits.eu : Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from mirror.chaoticum.net : Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from mirror.pseudoform.org : Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds

error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from arch.mirror.square-r00t.net : Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds
error: failed to synchronize all databases (download library error)

Re: [SOLVED]pacman error when updating?

Then why is that error not in your OP?

It looks like the mirror is down. Check https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ to confirm this next time you see that error. The "Mirrors" page in the ArchWiki can be referred to if you want to optimise your mirrors.
