[SOLVED] packer mirrorlist error

Hi, I'm getting this error:

packer -Syu --auronly
:: Synchronizing aur database...
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist could not be read.
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist could not be read.
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist could not be read.

 local database is up to date

Mirrorlist is up to date and no pacman errors.

Any ideas?

check if you still have the file in the correct location and if so, there aren't any syntax errors in it.

File is in /etc/pacman.d. No syntax errors that I can see.

Permission problem on the file?

Good call, that was it. For some reason mirrorlist was set so "others" couldn't read it. I changed it and all is well. No clue how it got changed in the first place as I haven't changed a thing or messed with the permissions.
