Subject: Unable to Synchronize Package Databases - Need Assistance

Hello community,

I'm encountering an issue with my Arc installation and I'm seeking some guidance.

Problem Description:
I am currently unable to synchronize package databases using Pacman. When I run the command sudo pacman -Syu, I receive the following error:

error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)

Steps Taken:

- Checked and confirmed that the pacman.conf file is correctly configured with several uncommented servers in the mirrorlist.
- Attempted to temporarily use a different mirror list
- I have a working internet connection, as confirmed by a successful ping to www.archlinux.org.

Unfortunately, none of the above steps have resolved the issue.

Thank you in advance for your time and support!

Checked and confirmed that the pacman.conf file is correctly configured with several uncommented servers in the mirrorlist.

Well, if you say it's correct there's obviously also no problem.
…

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
The error is pretty clear but worthless without its context - for *what* repo didn't you configure any servers?
Post the *entire* pacman output and your pacman.conf
