I know there's a topic for this, but I need help now... kdemod

I kinda need urgent help.  There's a document I need to access.  School related.  Otherwise, I'd wait for an answer in the kdemod topic.

Pacman -S kdemod doesn't work.  It claims that it's not in the synced db.  I tried a pacman -Sy.  Kinda weird.  Pacman -Ss kdemod lists all the kdemod packages, though.  Anyone know what's going on here?

You may have to wait until you get an answer in the other thread. That's where the devs are.

In the meantime, install what you need by full package name.

look at your mirrors specified in /etc/pacman.d/ and navigate manually to the package. Download it and run pacman -U /path/to/downloaded/package

You might use _any DE to access your document, by the way. If there's merely the urge to get it transferred from your machine to another, a live CD would do the trick the simplest way round. Boot, mount your drive and access the file - which you afterwards copy onto a USB pendrive or the like.

Hopefully I got to understand your problem. Apart from that, live CDs mostly provide document viewers and editors.

Got my hands on the document.  *phew*

T-Dawg - Thanks for the suggestion, but kdemod isn't a package.  It's a group.

Captain Spaulding - That command came up with nothing.

Edit - got a response in the kdemod thread.  It's a server issue.
