[SOLVED] Synergy Install Problem - Missing Dependencies - New User

Just installed Arch today and things are going great. Packages have installed without incident (firefox, chromium, xorg, lxde, leafpad, rsync, openssh, etc...) via pacman until I tried to install synergy. This webpage indicates that the package should be in the Extra repository: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Synergy and a simple

pacman -S synergy

should install it. That, however, runs into problems:

 
error: 'synergy': could not find or read package 

I've successfully run

 
pacman -Syy

and

 
pacman -Syu

without incident. They assure me that core, extra, community-testing and community are up to date... and that "there is nothing to do." In my attempt to install the package I downloaded the AUR package for quicksynergy here:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12432

I navigated to the folder and ran makepkg, only to find that I have missing dependencies: synergy. "ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies."

This is my first post with a question to the forums in this community so I'm open to being educated in how to better improve my inquiries. It's possible I've missed something simple (and I'm still going back to re-read as you read this) but everything I'm reading seems to indicate that what I'm doing should be working. I've uncommented all servers in the United States (where I'm currently located) and none of them seem to have synergy.

Any help very much appreciated. Thanks ~Kyle

Synergy is no longer in Extra. And, you don't need 'quicksynergy', which is just a GUI that depends upon synergy. Rather, you want the AUR package 'synergy'. That can be found here:

Thanks austin.rbn,

I feel like an idiot. Installing that AUR package via this guide worked wonders: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … om_the_AUR

Synergy is up and running and I'm happily using it.

Thanks very much for your help.

I changed the wiki entry on Synergy to reflect this.  It still said that it was available in [extra].  Confused me for a minute too.
