I am a noob on an i5 desktop. I could not update my system. Terminal reads as follows, after I type and enter "sudo pacman -Syu"

[sudo] password for user-name: ********

error: failed to update extra (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update community (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update multilib (unable to lock database)

This can be solved by quitting Software Update program from task manager. This worked for me.
