[SOLVED] pacman -Syu "pacman>=6.0.2-7" Issue

Following the suggestion on the main Arch page to merge pacman pacnew file after the GIT migration, the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu "pacman>=6.0.2-7"

...returns the following error:

error: target not found: pacman>=6.0.2-7

So then I thought, maybe the command would work without the quote marks.

sudo pacman -Syu pacman>=6.0.2-7

But that command returns the following:

warning: pacman-6.0.2-6 is up to date -- reinstalling
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] Y

warning: could not get file information for usr/share/qt5keychain/translations/qtkeychain_de.qm

warning: could not get file information for usr/share/qt5keychain/translations/qtkeychain_ru.qm
warning: could not get file information for usr/share/qt5keychain/translations/qtkeychain_zh.qm

I then attempted to perform a regular system upgrade sudo pacman -Syu, which results in no upgrades.

 there is nothing to do

Am I misunderstanding something?

FWIW...I performed the last system upgrade on 05/13/2023.

If there are no updates, then perhaps your mirror is not up to date. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mirrors
Also: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Reflector

I also do not have a pacman.conf.pacnew file under /etc.

Thank you Awebb. Installing and starting reflector updated my mirrorlist and I was able to install the latest version of pacman and successfully perform an upgrade.
