Did you modify your /etc/pacman.conf ? Can you show: ls -lan /etc/pacman.conf cat /etc/pacman.conf sJBs_NZ: I have been manually editing (commenting out) the mirrorlist, cachy-mirrorlist, cachy-v3-mirrorlist and cachy-v4-mirrorlist, as a number of the mirrors were giving errors, even though they tested fine with the cachyos-rate-mirrors. By “giving errors” do you mean it was causing pacman to fail/abort an update? Or pacman just showing errors in the log, but update succeeded? If the latter, that’s normal and not something that needs fixing.
