The error-message I got was:
error: Failed to execute pacman-conf: error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 18: All directives must belong to a section.
well, locking at several threads including the Wiki and the linked page don't solve my problem.
I downgraded a package before the error came and let set this package in the "ignore-list", the `IgnorePkg` is also in ` /etc/pacman.conf`,
afterward I upgrade again the package but the "downgrader" don't offer me to delete this from the "ignore-list", I looked in the `/etc/pacman.conf` and there is `IgnorePkg`-field enabled but empty,
my thought was to delete also the `[options]`-line together with empty option,
and this was a mistake because the next option in the line 18 was not recognized as such anymore.
If you want to avoid my own error... check first if around line 12 the line `[options]` is present and enabled like here shown:

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local

#
# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
# have identical names, regardless of version number
# - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
# - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#
# The gremlins repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

Maybe someone insert this notice somewhere with the intent to save time for people make my own mistakes.
Nevertheless, the excursion in the wiki and for-all in the second link permitted me to setup the fastest mirrors for my location.
