[Solved]Virtualbox - Removed from Repositories?

Hi all,

I'm a new Arch user and everything has gone well until this evening.  I needed to install virtualbox again. I had this running correctly and removed it and also the local package.  Running pacman -S virtualbox results in nothing found.  Thinking maybe user error, I searched on the website here for packages and it is nowhere to be found.

Any ideas why virtualbox-ose was removed? 

Thanks,
Chris

Re: [Solved]Virtualbox - Removed from Repositories?

Did some digging and the problem I was having was user error. Doh!!!  The virtualbox package is actually in community.  For some reason I was not getting any updates from pacman.  I forced a sync, pacman -Syy and that solved the problem.  Package downloaded and all is well with my Arch world again.
