-* Always ensure your system is fully up-to-date before installing software.
+* Don’t update the local package database (metadata) without also updating the system
-* Don't downgrade packages, this will always result in a partial update scenario.
+* You may install a single package using {{ic|pacman -S <pkgname>}} but this may yield a 404 error if your metadata is not current
-* Avoid using {{ic|pacman -Sy}} or {{ic|pacman -Syy}}.  Instead update your database and packages at the same time with {{ic|pacman -Syu}} or in case of change in mirrorlist {{ic|pacman -Syyu}}
+* Don't use {{ic|pacman -Sy}}, {{ic|pacman -Syy}}, {{ic|pacman -Syuw}} as this will update the metadata but not sync the packages to your system
-* Don't add packages to pacman's or pamac's ignore list.
+* Always sync metadata and packages together {{ic|pacman -Syu}}
-* If you just want to check to see what updates are available use the command {{ic|checkupdates}}.  It provides a safe way to check for upgrades to installed packages without running a system update at the same time.
+* Don't add packages to pacman's or pamac's ignore list
-* When [[Switching_Branches|switching branches]] or [[Pacman-mirrors|switching mirrors]] always use {{ic|pamac update --force-refresh}} or {{ic|pacman -Syyu}} to ensure that the databases for your new mirrors are being used.
+* If you just want to check to see what updates are available use the command {{ic|checkupdates}}.  This provides a safe way to check for upgrades to installed packages without pulling metadata at the same time
+* When [[Switching_Branches|switching branches]] or [[Pacman-mirrors|switching mirrors]] always sync your systems metadata and packages using {{ic|pamac update}} or {{ic|pacman -Syu}}
+* If you get 404 in connection with a branch switch you may force sync metadata by doubling the '''y''' argument {{ic|pacman -Syyu}}
