only packages started with letter 'a' are in list. In /var/lib/pacman/extra/ all other packages exist but isnt shown after 'pacman -Sl extra' command. Where I have to dig for the fixing it?

I want to get xchat and there is message:

[root@myhost alex]# pacman -S xchat
error: 'xchat': not found in database

A longshot, but try an syu with two 'y's:

pacman -Syyu

flack 2.0.6: menu-driven BASH script to easily tag FLAC files (AUR)
knock-once 1.2: BASH script to easily create/send one-time sequences for knockd (forum/AUR)
