Can't update

For the last 4 or 5 days I’ve been trying to update Mabox, both with the GUI and the terminal, and been unable to do so. The GUI shows me a message saying the database is “invalid or corrupted”, and through the terminal I’m being “unable to sync to all databases”. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you all in advance. :slight_smile:

Of course.

Hi @bernyjb

Did you try refreshing the database?

Try to renew GPG keys first.
Right Sidepanel ctrl+super+Right → Renew keys

This is also worth to have bookmarked :slight_smile:

Nope, I tried both ways, it didn’t work. I’m trying the Pacman troubleshooting instructions now…
