- Don’t update the local package database (metadata) without also updating the system
- You may install a single package using
pacman -S <pkgname>
but this may yield a 404 error if your metadata is not current - Don't use
pacman -Sy
,pacman -Syy
,pacman -Syuw
as this will update the metadata but not sync the packages to your system - Always sync metadata and packages together
pacman -Syu
- Don't add packages to pacman's or pamac's ignore list
- If you just want to check to see what updates are available use the command
checkupdates
. This provides a safe way to check for upgrades to installed packages without pulling metadata at the same time - When switching branches or switching mirrors always sync your systems metadata and packages using
pamac update
orpacman -Syu
- If you get 404 in connection with a branch switch you may force sync metadata by doubling the y argument
pacman -Syyu
