you dont need to update every time an update is available.

just update once every couple weeks

I know, I just like to see the "up to date" symbol in the toolbar, especially on a fresh install. Like I said, I get that it's rolling release; the problem isn't the frequency of updates, it's that this most recent update keeps failing when I try to install it.

I just have a small counter on my Polybar checking how many packages can be updated. Once it reaches a few hundred, I upgrade.

maybe try refreshing the keyrings first.

sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
