Hello

That looks like pacman’s newer download sandbox, not a normal mirror problem. It is trying to use Landlock and the alpm sandbox user, and the kernel in that qube does not expose Landlock.
For a quick test, check /etc/pacman.conf in the Arch template for DownloadUser / DisableSandbox. If adding DisableSandbox makes pacman -Syu work, then the template update path is OK and the issue is just pacman’s sandbox expectation under Qubes. I’d only leave that as a workaround after noting it in the template, since it weakens pacman’s download isolation.
This showed on Qubes OS Update. It does not said which version of Arch.
pacman -Syu --disable-sandbox ?
I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.
I able to find the version is 4.3.0.
Did you try pacman -Syu --disable-sandbox ?

This is latest updated from Qubes OS Update.

Well, in which Terminal, and how?
I will do the re-installation to see what will happen.
