@rudy-in

the mirrors fail to be fetched

Try:

reflector --latest 7 --rate sort --protocol https | sudo tee /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

to refresh your mirrors.

If that fails, go to https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ and generate a mirrorlist.
Edit the file and uncomment the servers you want. Replace your current mirrorlist with this file.

Then:

sudo pacman -Syu

Recently another user had a similar issue. They had tried a series of different things, among which, sudo pacman -Scc to clear the package cache. If the above won’t work, try this and see if you will be able to resolve the issue.

same error

Did you get a fresh mirrorlist?
If so, try:

sudo pacman-db-upgrade

sudo rm -r /var/lib/pacman/sync/

sudo pacman -Scc

sudo pacman -Syyu

In case of failure, have a look at this solved thread with similar issue and see if there are other suggestions to try:

Not able to update yay -Syu

I have no issues if I run pacman but yay is giving me this error (even after clearing pacman’s cache):
