Getting an error when attempting to update packages with pacman.
error: failed retrieving file 'cuda-12.4.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from mirrors.dotsrc.org : The requested URL returned error: 404

Repeated for each mirror.

You should post the command you used as well as the output.
cuda-12.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is what is on the dotsrc mirror.

Normally this happens when your local repo sync database is not up to date.

The command was pacman -Su.

Always upgrade system with pacman -Syu. Read about upgrading in arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance#Upgrading_the_system
