error: failed to synchronize community: [ SOLVED ]

Hi friends,
I cant synchronize community. I use pacman 3.0 from testing.

pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 testing is up to date
 current is up to date
 extra is up to date
 unstable is up to date
error: failed to synchronize community: 
 local database is up to date

Directory /var/lib/pacma/community is empty.
I think it s the problem.

Any suggestions.

first off, check to see if the file

/etc/pacman.d/community

exists or not. Make sure the file contains a list of mirrors.

Then, look inside the file

/etc/pacman.conf

And make sure you haven't commented out the Include=/etc/pacman.d/community

What mirror are you using for the community repo? Try to use the same one that is used for the other repo.

Thanks F.
The file

/etc/pacman.d/community

was missing.
