Here’s the output from running reflector-simple in terminal.

reflector-simple: info: reading file /etc/reflector-simple-tool.conf
reflector-simple: info: package geoip is not installed
reflector-simple: info: reading file /etc/reflector-simple.conf
/usr/bin/yad: error while loading shared libraries: libgspell-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Do you have yad installed? It has a dependency gspell which includes that lib.
You also need package geoip.
Also, does your /etc/pacman.conf have the [endeavouros] repository as the first?

yad is installed.
now i have installed geoip

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

I found this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=299362 when searching libgspell-1.so.2 No such file or directory

Great that you got it solved! :+1:

Note that this command does not show the version installed on your system but the latest available (according to your local database). The command to get the currently installed version is e.g.

pacman -Q gspell
