Straight forward run `sudo pacman -Syyu` on Manjaro KDE as of 11/04/2024 failed. Several commands shown bellow finally brought me to success. Having stable Manjaro release rolled forward to a final state we can just replace "downgrade" by "manjaro-downgrade" to reproduce same approach as in my previous post to Lxer.com . Current version of ML4W Dotfiles appears to be 2.9.7.1DEV.
$ sudo pacman-key --init
$ sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro
$ sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring
$ sudo pacman -Scc
$ sudo pacman -Syyu
