Hi, Im getting these 404 errors more and more frequently on all three of my arch installations, I havnt touched any pacman config or mirror files, only uncommeneted multilib in all three.

Right now I got:

Targets (2): tdb-1.2.10-1  udevil-0.3.4-1

Total Download Size:    0.10 MiB
Total Installed Size:   0.45 MiB

This is fixed by running

pacman -Syy
pacman -Syu

Any ideas why its happening? or what I should do?

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=tdb
The package has just been updated - switch to a more up-to-date mirror or wait a couple hours and try updating again.

Ok thanks, is it happening because arch can see there is a update, but none of the mirrors have that update yet?

Why would

pacman -Syy

fix the problem then?

Exactly: the db has been updated but the new files have not yet been propagated.
According to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/tdb/ the update happened 15 minutes before you posted.

Also, I see that transmission-cli version 2.73-1 is out https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … ssion-cli/

But if I:

transmission-cli -V

I get:

transmission-cli 2.72 (13582)

and

pacman -Syu

now says:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

I don't think it's pacman's fault:

$ pacman -S transmission-cli

  If you want to run the Transmission daemon at boot do:
  systemctl enable transmissiond
$ transmission-cli -V
transmission-cli 2.72 (13582)

You may want to ask upstream.
