With minor glitches my update to the newest kernel went smoothly. I was expecting it yesterday so when I checked today and I got a "no updates status", I got suspicious. My target mirror might not be synchronized. So i went to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and cut and paste my mirrors a bit. I tried another mirror.
[donato@archdesktop ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for donato:

there is nothing to do
[donato@archdesktop ~]$ locate mirrorlist
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup
[donato@archdesktop ~]$ less /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[donato@archdesktop ~]$ vi /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[donato@archdesktop ~]$ sudo nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
