[solved] pacman cannot find a given package in the extra repository

After having updated the list of packages with pacman -Syy, I'm still unable to install the package mission-center, which should be available in the extra repo since December. The command `pacman -Sl extra` doesn't show that package listed. I've tried to update the list of mirrors through reflector, but the package remains still missing.

Hi @wormzy,

I've managed to solve the issue in the meantime by first cleaning the pacman cache,

pacman -Scc

, though I don't know why it worked
