Hi, I just recently reinstalled arch, and I don't even have a DE or WM installed yet. I was just trying to install wicd to get my wifi to work, when I got this:
:: Retrieving packages from core...
warning; failed to retrieve some files from core
error: failed to commit transaction (no servers configured for repository)
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.
I am new to arch, so it is possible I made a mistake when installing. The computer is plugged into Ethernet, and I just recently updated arch as I installed it from an older CD (about 1 year old?)
I am logged in as root, and I did search the web and these forums for this issue and I didn't find it.
Thank you for your time.

Check /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Have you uncommented your mirror(s)? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirrors

My mirrors were commented, but I fixed that. Now when I do pacman -S alsa-utils it goes through all my mirrors and says : "no address record" Ending with:
failed to retrieve some files from extra
error: failed to commit transaction (no address record)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I must have messed something up big time.

Is this the same problem ?
