[SOLVED] pacman did not find any update for 10+ days

I usually run

sudo pacman -Syu

on Saturdays. Usually, there are lots of updates and I can see that pacman actually downloads something before suggesting updates.

On this past Sat (Sep 6) I did not see any updates. I tried every day since and still there are no updates. The command shows this:

xxxx@yyyy:~ $ sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for xxxx: 
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
xxxx@yyyy:~ $ 

In case it helps, uname output is currently like this:

xxxx@yyyy:~ $ uname -a
Linux yyyy 6.16.3-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat, 23 Aug 2025 15:32:49 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
xxxx@yyyy:~ $ 

How do I diagnose / solve this?

Thank you!

Fix your mirrorlist. The first mirror listed is probably stale.
