Hi, haven’t used Mabox for a while and now I got following bad messages when trying to update:

- Incorrect or corrupt database  
and
- Synchronization of databases failed

I tried also update manually in terminal but it also failed. ☹  
What to do with it now? ⭕

Thx!! I did as it was described in ‘Solution’ part.  
It’s now (partly) fine but something looks odd:

- when trying to use “UPDATE SYSTEM” from ‘Welcome box’, I got message:  
“Database synchronisation didn’t succeed” (just one warning)
- when trying to update via terminal, it says it’s OK:

```auto
sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizowanie baz danych z pakietami…
 maboxlinux is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Rozpoczynanie pełnej aktualizacji systemu…
 nie ma nic do zrobienia

```

I just don’t get it. ⭕

To make sure everything is OK, I suggest the following two commands. (For “clickers”, they are also available from the right sidepanel in Mabox)

1. Choosing fast mirrors

```auto
pacman-mirrors -f5

```

1. refreshing the package lists and fully updating the system

```auto
yay -Syyu

```

It won’t hurt to perform this commands from time to time.
