pacman and website package list disagree [SOLVED]
Hi all,
'Pacman -Ss p7zip' says there is no such package. However at
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/search/?q=7z
is an entry for p7zip in extra. I know I DO have extra enabled although I'm currently unable to reach the 'kdemod4-i64' repository. And I have run a 'pacman -Sy' before this. What gives?
cheers,
kilolima

Have you tried pacman -Sy and then pacman -Ss p7zip?

Have you tried a different mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist? If it still doesn't appear in a different mirror, I'll look into it on our pkg database.

Re: pacman and website package list disagree [SOLVED]
I commented out the first mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ( ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/x86_64 ) and was able to find p7zip after another pacman -Sy. Thanks!

Re: pacman and website package list disagree [SOLVED]
It appears to be on that mirror.... ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/x86_64 … pkg.tar.gz. I am not at my 64bit machine to check it in the pkg database.
Also, please make the change away from using ftp.archlinux.org mirror permanent. If you use a mirror close to you then you will save the distro some bandwidth.
