Greetings Everyone, I was sitting with computer and trying to upgrade my system, and then I’ve got this message in the console:
:: Синхронізуємо бази даних пакунків...
помилка: неможливо синхронізувати всі бази даних (неможливо заблокувати базу даних)
In english it would be something like this:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: unable to synchronize all databases (unable to block the database)
What can I do?
start by updating your mirrors and then try again. You can update the mirrors from the welcome app.
sudo rm -f /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
Just a guess 
it partly solved this problem, now I can install programs again, but I still can’t upgrage and another error message appears:
error: unable to end the transaction (conflicting files)
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 exists in the filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104 exists in the filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106 exists in the filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107 exists in the filesystem
Errors had appeared, package hadn't upgraded.
What can I do in that case?
sudo pacman -Rdd linux-firmware
sudo pacman -S linux-firmware
sudo pacman -Syu
Archlinux split the firmware files into individual packages (causing all sorts of mayhem).
thank you very much!
