****************************************

command: pacman-db-upgrade
    ==> ERROR: You must have correct permissions to upgrade the database.

Reason:

The system is executet in read-only mode, to change this you have to change /boot/cmdline.txt. Add rw in front of rootwait. Then reboot the system.

If there are issues with the pacman database just upgrade it:

pacman-db-upgrade
