try

# pacman -S t1lib

then

# pacman -S gnome-extra

Have you updated you pacman database since install (pacman -Sy") If that does not help, try using a different mirror.

luca · 2008-03-17 07:48:48

Did you sync your repositories?

pacman -Sy

qlli · 2008-03-17 07:58:05

#pacman -Sy

#pacman -S t1lib
error: 't1lib': not found in sync db

Looks like a bad mirror then. Change it in the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.

Yes, I did -Sy,
I am not sure whether it is the mirror problem.
I use mirrorlist file in /etc/pacman.d, maybe I should change the order of the mirror site ?

double check /etc/pacman.conf

make sure you have

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

if you do edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

and make sure you have Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/i686 in the first line

if any of these were the culprits

do a

#pacman -Sy

then

#pacman -S gnome-extra

Yes, I did as you mentioned.
1. [extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
2. the only server of ftp.archlinux.org was left

But it still the same problem! :-(

It is definitely on ftp.archlinux.org. Try "pacman -Syy" to redownload the pacman database.. Then post your /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so we can check for mistakes.

schizoid · 2008-03-17 09:04:09

hmmm not sure if using testing is a good idea

you might want to uncomment that out in your pacman.conf . not that I think thats the problem.

looks to me like there is some issue with your pacman database. I'm not sure how togo about rebuilding so I'll just give you a quick fix for now. run the following

#wget ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/t1lib-5.1.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
#pacman -U t1lib-5.1.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

then try

#pacman -S gnome-extra

hope this helps

It works with "pacman -Syy"!

Thanks you very much, as well as schizoid and luca! :-)
