[SOLVED] pacman -Sy failing with Invalid URL Scheme

wrarus · 2010-12-14 19:14:14

I'm getting a comparable pair of lines for each combination of database (core, extra, etc.) and mirror (rankmirrors-generated mirrorlist):

error: url 'http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/core/os … .db.tar.gz' is invalid
debug: returning error 43 from download_internal : Invalid URL scheme

Yesterday I did pacman -Sy followed by pacman -Qu then pacman -Su all successfully.

Any thoughts/help?

UPDATE: re-installing pacman's dependencies learned via "pacman -Qi pacman" fixed the problem.

Comment out that mirror and try the next one.
