G'day @klein5366 from Down Under and welcome to linux.org

Given you are using Pacman for your updates, over, perhaps Pamac, I would advocate the following.

Install a line in your pacman.conf to ignore the Pamac material, and then run your updates again.

sudo nano -m /etc/pacman.conf

In the file you will find, a couple of sections down, a line beginning

IgnorePkg   =

If it has a # hash in front of it , delete that and change the line to

IgnorePkg   = libpamac

Save and exit and run your updates again.

I always include a comment to remind me why I do things. For example, in my Artix MATE I have

IgnorePkg   = libpamac
# Above added following Timeshift update error 220827

... so I have not worried about it for over a year now.

Wouldn't hurt to check your Keyring is current before you re-run the updates command.

sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring

thank you wizardfromoz worked like a charm !!!!!!!!
i tried IgnorePkg = libdovi
i tried to uninstall pamac
i was at an end lol
can i uninstall pamac ? i really don't use it .

 

[wizardfromoz]

You can indeed.

I would start a new Thread here in Arch eg "Can I safely remove pamac from my Artix?"

Before you remove it I would advocate installing Timeshift and taking a snapshot first. Have you used yay or just pacman?

Article here is recent and not bad, although I would qualify a couple of points.

If you want a better fit for your needs with Timeshift, see me here

https://www.linux.org/threads/timeshift-similar-solutions-safeguard-recover-your-linux.15241/

But ask me at page 17, you can read the rest nights when the milk and cookies does not work.
