[SOLVED] Cannot install WINE related packages

For some reason, I'm unable to install any WINE related packages.

Whenever I try:

$ sudo pacman -Syu wine
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 aur is up to date
error: target not found: wine

Same goes for most other WINE packages

$ sudo pacman -Syu wine-mono
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 aur is up to date
error: target not found: wine-mono

$ sudo pacman -Syu wine-staging
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 aur is up to date
error: target not found: wine-staging

$ sudo pacman -Syu winetricks
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 aur is up to date
error: target not found: winetricks

Interestingly, "wine-gecko" is found, but cannot be installed due to its wine dependency:

$ sudo pacman -Syu wine-gecko
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "wine", a dependency of "wine-gecko"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      wine-gecko

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] 
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'wine' required by wine-gecko

Any ideas?
