Same issue as well for me in openSUSE Tumbleweed.

I have a temporary solution. According to arch wiki there is called pacman-static that should be possible to run without pacman and fix issue.

1. Open this check the pinned comments and download the pre-compiled binaries
2. Inside the Arch Linux distrobox type chmod +x pacman-static
3. Do sudo ./pacman-static -Syu
4. (Optional) Restart the distrobox
