Check your top mirror, it's probably old. https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/

Edit: I should read the post first. What did you delete, exactly?

Actually I don't know. And I use reflector to check mirrors.

The error I get every time when I want to install packages : https://pastebin.com/ap0S5JYR

I'm assuming those are all things you've reinstalled with --overwrite?

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … l_database

Re: pacman command -Syu always say nothing to do

pacutils doesn't depend on git for installation, just for building.
Are you using some AUR helper? Don't - I bet your rigtht arm that it got you into this situation itfp.

pacman -Sdd pacutils

Hi, I am facing the same issue. It's been a while since you made this post, did you find any solution?

@nectar I would suggest starting your own thread and in it including the output of `pacman -Syu --debug`

@loqs okay. I thought our issue was the same, so I should post here.
