warning: gnome-user-docs-43.0-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/gnome-user-docs-43.0-1/desc: No such file or directory

Re: Error when trying to install gnome

I ran it at the end it says systemd: 1330 total files, 1 altered file
I think its something to do with the package lock

Not "at the end", the entire output.

No, your pacman database is corrupted.
