-y, --refresh
Download a fresh copy of the master package databases (repo.db) from the server(s)
defined in pacman.conf(5). This should typically be used each time you use--sysupgrade or -u. Passing two --refresh or -y flags will force a refresh of all
package databases, even if they appear to be up-to-date.
