[Solved] Failed To Update Multilib

I'm running the x86_64 version of Arch and I'm wanting to install Wine so I added

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

to the end of my pacman.conf file. When I tried to sync the database this happened:

[*****@Arch-Desktop ~]$ sudo pacman -Syy
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrolist could not be read.
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core                      36.2K  419.4K/s 00:00:00 [##########] 100%
 extra                    450.1K  678.7K/s 00:00:01 [##########] 100%

error: failed to update multilib (no servers configured for repository)

I read online that maybe updating the mirrorlist would fix it but it didn't. I ended up commenting out the multilib lines that I added to pacman.conf and it went back to syncing normally without any errors.

I'm needing Wine for the multilib repo so how do I get it working?

Re: [Solved] Failed To Update Multilib

You get it working by having the two lines quoted above in pacman.conf, and a valid server in your mirrorlist.
Have a looks at this line:

error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrolist could not be read.

You should be able to fix this yourself, if not please post pacman.conf and mirrorlist.

Re: [Solved] Failed To Update Multilib

the error is in pacman.conf. paste it.

looking more closely, you have a typo. error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrolist could not be read.

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

Thanks for pointing that out.

Sorry for the stupid mistake.
