Hey,
Since last week arch-linux templates fail to update via qubes-updater with next information in log:

Updating archlinux
Progress reporting not supported.
Refreshing package info
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: restricting filesystem access failed because Landlock is not supported by the kernel!
error: switching to sandbox user 'alpm' failed!
error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)
Installed packages:
None
Updated packages:
None
Removed packages:
None

By root terminal and next command:

pacman -Syu --disable-sandbox

updates run smoothly, but qubes-updater can’t perform updates check with same error.

Someone have an idea how to solve this issue for arch-linux templates update process via Qubes updater?

There is a DisableSandbox setting (something like that anyway, I’m not at the computer at the moment) in the /etc/pacman.conf file. Just set that appropriately.

The December 12 pacman package update puts a new /etc/pacman.conf.

@WhiteShadow you should disable the filesystem sandbox, I use this setting :

[root@tpl-archlinux ~]# grep -i sandbox /etc/pacman.conf
DisableSandboxFilesystem
#DisableSandboxSyscalls
