pacman cannot access multilib repo.

Hello,

I just added the multilib repo to my /etc/pacman.conf :

 

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

After:

 sudo pacman -Syy 

I got the following output:

:: Synchronizing package databases...

I tried commenting the mirrors above and using different ones.  Same result.
Thanks for any help!

Re: pacman cannot access multilib repo.

$ uname -m

i guess you are on i686 and multilib is available only for x86_64

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: pacman cannot access multilib repo.

You're right, I'm on i686.  Totally misread the title on the multilib post, which does say "x86_64."

Thanks!
