[solved] After upgrading no [community] update

Dear colleagues,

after updating to Pacman 3.0 a "pacman -syu" is neither synching the community package nor showing it in the status. I think the German language is a minor problem. You can clearly see no mentioning of community.

 # pacman -Syu
:: Synchronisiere Paketdatenbanken...
 current ist aktuell
 extra ist aktuell
:: Starte komplette Systemaktualisierung...
 Lokale Datenbank ist aktuell

Here you can see my pacman.con:

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# NOTE: If you find a mirror that is geographically close to you, please
#       move it to the top of the server list, so pacman will choose it
#       first.
#
# To re-sort your mirror lists by ping/traceroute results, use the
# /usr/bin/sortmirrors script.  It requires the "netselect" package.
#

# See the pacman manpage for option directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
NoUpgrade   = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow etc/sudoers
NoUpgrade   = etc/fstab etc/raidtab etc/ld.so.conf
NoUpgrade   = etc/rc.conf etc/rc.local
NoUpgrade   = etc/modprobe.conf etc/modules.conf
NoUpgrade   = etc/lilo.conf boot/grub/menu.lst
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here.
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# 

[current]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server = ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686
Include = /etc/pacman.d/current

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server = ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686
Include = /etc/pacman.d/extra

#[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server = ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/i686
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

As I said, before updating to Pacman 3.0 all worked perfectly. I have reproduced the error on two independent machines with German and Swiss mirror.

Best regards,
Martin

Shame on me - but it was not obvious to me. Many thanks! I will make a hint on the wiki.
