If you have pamac installed, uninstall it, update, and reinstall it. It is affected by the latest pacman update.

Thank you, i donā€™t think i have pamac installed, tried yay & pacman. Eg. sudo pacman -R pamac

Error: target not found: pamac

Have a look at yay -Ss pamac, it should yell you which ones are installed.
