Thunderbird not in database

Though I see Thunderbird in the package list on the Arch web site, 'pacman -Ss thunderbird' yields no package other than the language package for Thunderbird, even when I try with different mirrors.

Re: Thunderbird not in database

Thunderbird is in community repo, so:
edit /etc/pacman.conf and uncoment line Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

edit...
Oops, looks like it is in current repo not community

Re: Thunderbird not in database

I ended up going to the Arch ftp site and downloading pacman sources and finding the repo files in there, and copying them over to my /etc/pacman.d folder. That solved it. I must have had a problem in my repo files.
