[Solved] pacman -Syyu sync's repository and then repoistory.db

Question

For instance I run 'pacman -Syyu' and it will then sync core, core.db, extra, etra.db and so on a so forth for all the repo's in my pacman.conf. It did not sync the .db on my last install which was up to date unitl I just did a fresh install using the archboot iso. I looked through the pacman.conf a few times and did not see anything obvious wrong to me. <-- not saying much
I searched this section of the forum going back about 2 months figuring it has to do with signatures and found nothing. So i believe it means that either a) my last setup was incorrect. b) My searching skills are lacking.
If this is normal that is fine, it doesn't bother me, was just curous about it.
Cheers.

# 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

# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the

# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

Also I was wrong it isn't repository.db but actually repository.sig
