System Updates: "unexpected error"

[Greendrake]

So... I kept getting these "keyring is not writable" errors repeatedly trying to upgrade until I found this post suggesting to run:

Code:

sudo rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
sudo pacman -Sy gnupg archlinux-keyring archlinuxarm-keyring manjaro-keyring manjaro-arm-keyring
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm manjaro-arm
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

That didn't work straight away either: I had to juggle those commands in random order many times until they eventually allowed

Code:

sudo pacman -Syyu --noconfirm

to proceed smoothly. Now upgrade is done, yay! Thanks all.
