[SOLVED] Pacman unable to get updated packages

Hi, I am running into the following problem: I am using this repository http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/archlinux/ that is in the list of updated repos but even after doing a pacman -Syy I still get outdated packages (that going trhou that link shouldn't even exist in the repo anymore!).

What can I do to make pacman get the correct packages lists? The console output shows pacman syncing with the repo so I don't understand why it is not getting the correct information.

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman unable to get updated packages

Try specifying only that mirror

[core]
Server = http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

You mentioned you got old kernel from here, right? 2.6.34.3-1 is the current one, and it's on that server. Are you by any chance using [testing]?

I had tried that but forgot to put 'archlinux' in the path so I was getting some errors and gave up. Now it is working and packages are finally in sync! Thank you very much sir/madam, you are incredibly helpful.
