Failed to synchronize

:wave:
I installed Garuda on my system a few weeks ago and this is the first problem that I’m facing so this is my first topic here!.

I did the regular sudo pacman -Syu to update but this time I’m getting this error -_-

λ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases…
error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database)

This means that either another package management process is running, or one exited prematurely and the lock file (/var/lib/pacman/db.lck) is still present and needs to be deleted.

You can also find this information via a search , and on the Arch wiki.
