Fresh install on an Asus E203M netbook. unable to update via gui.... sticks at checking inter-conflicts. Terminal update using sudo reflect works to update mirrors however sudo packupg returns the following:
error: failed to update core (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update extra (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update community (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update multilib (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update sublime-text (unable to lock database)
error: failed to synchronize all databases
tried several restarts... I think it's something with my hardware on this laptop because no other 5.x kernal has my wifi drivers in it but this one does out of the box. I am to new to linux to really understand what is happening.
I really appreciate the fast response! That took care of it. I am really digging this distro. I started on Linux Mint, then to Manjaro KDE. I am seriously considering moving to your distro. The packages that come installed save me from really having a complaint about setting it up as a fresh install. Most of my work is done lol. Thank you!

Before doing anything else, you'll need to perform this step from the terminal:
pacman -Rdd libdmx libxxf86dga libxxf86misc && pacman -Syu
explained here: https://www.archlinux.org/news/xorg-cleanup-requires-manual-intervention/
Then after that, still in terminal issue the following:
sudo reflect
pacupd
pacupg
After this your system should update correctly. The next build won't have this issue which arose after the current build.
