System Update and Upgrade both failing

[cyb3rtooth]

Hi there, complete newbie here.

Main issue: Any update or upgrade commands result in the same issue, failing to fetch garuda.db from any mirror.

I have tried garuda-update, update, sudo pacman -Syu, and other commands to upgrade and update the system with no luck.

Below is the error:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
garuda.db failed to download
core is up to date
extra is up to date
multilib is up to date
chaotic-aur is up to date

A bit more context:
I have not done a full system upgrade in a while.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Try

garuda-update remote fix

Garuda-update currupted pkg?

Yeah I don't know why but the wiki on garuda-update is incomplete. Its a tool developed by garuda linux yet the documentation on it is very sparse. There is a lot more garuda-update can do. garuda-update remote fix to reset your pacman.conf and refresh the keyrings garuda-update remote keyring to just refresh your keyring (no pacman.conf reset) garuda-update remote fullfix to reinstall all the packages in your os garuda-update -- [pkgName] [flags] after the -- you can pass all the pacman flags…

I can confirm that it is now working.

Thank you so much!

Is there somewhere I can learn more to avoid further issues? (Apart from the wiki)

Simply update more often, once a week or at least once a month.
