Change mirrors.

Use pacman -Syy to force downloading new package lists. What mirror(s) are you using as well?

archman-cro · 2010-09-13 20:33:39

Yeah, add some "working" server to "/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist" and issue a "pacman -Syy" as root.

@codycarey: You won. ;D

Heh, technically I think fsckd won. We're both losers. *tear*

uncomment some mirrors in your /etc/pacman/mirrorlist. You could check "working" mirrors as described by fsckd

pacman -Syy then pacman -Syu

edit: BTW bumping after a few minutes? no good.

And posting something like "cuz it was not working" is a waste of everybodys time - either include some error messages and detail, or don't bother...
