Hello and thanks
I installed the last version 17-04, then tried to do a general update, both with pacman -Syu
and with the GUI, but it seems there is almost nothing to update, just a minor short detail was updated.
Then installed firefox to write this message and it worked.
It tells the system is updated and there is nothing to do.
But this release should be from April. How is it possible that from April there is nothing to update?
If you did an offline install there would be updates as the image is static when the ISO is created. It appears you have chosen an online install method which is a net install so it is currently up to date. Don’t be surprised if by later in the day you see some updates as Arch updates pretty much daily. You can check for updates via the checkupdates command via terminal
