I'de like to install packages from the extra repository.
So I tried:
pacman --sync
This told me:
error: could not open sync database: extra
have you used --refresh yet?
So I did this.
But still pacman --sync tells me the same.
I have
Include = /etc/packman.d/extra
in /etc/pacman.conf.
What else is missing?

Don't know that this is the problem but you have a spelling error in your code line.
Pacman doesn't have a "k" in it.

Oh, yes. I have made the error when a copied it. But in the config file it is in fact without 'k'.
Include = /etc/pacman.d/extra
So this is not the problem.

try pacman -Sy pkgname. The -y refreshes the database. You can find all this in the man page.

Yes. This worked! Thanks!
I had thought I must invoke pacman once with -S and once with -y. But obviously it has to be one single invokation.
