Pacman sync fails with "(invalid url for server)" [SOLVED]

Never seen this error before.

Just did a fresh install on a new laptop, and just finished setting up systemd-networkd and iwd to connect to my home wifi. Now when I try to sync pacman I get "Could not resolve host: " messages from each mirror.

I can't update or install anything now it seems.

Post the exact command and output you are getting, commands you are using to verify your internet access in general works, and have you tried to actually and actively fix the mirrorlist? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Not a pacman issue, moving to NC.

Turns out all I needed to do was start systemd-resolved. Might as well delete this post.
