[Solved] icecat installation problem

Having a problem with makepkg -s

:: Retrieving packages from extra...
error: failed retrieving file 'xulrunner-1.9.2.12-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from mirrors.kernel.org

Checked the PKGBUILD and only see a reference to: xulver=1.9.2.12
Also

 pacman -Ss xulrunner 
--shows:

extra/xulrunner 1.9.2.12-1

Re: [Solved] icecat installation problem

I think the problem is that the package is not fully retrieved in one attempt. Running pacman several times seems to result in retrieving the full package...at least I have found that to be the case with some other packages. Now on attempt #6 or so, I have 75% of the xulrunner package. I will update the thread when it succeeds.

Update: Yes. running makepkg many times resulted in getting the full xulrunner package and the installation is proceeding as expected.

PS. Update: My first sentence from Arch to the world via web browser: Hello World!
