[solved] Problem trying to download MOC and Sonata in pacman

Recently I've been trying to get a new musicplayer on my computer. The first I tried was Sonata, but it seems like the package has been deleted in almost every ftp-client. This is a bug right?

Next, I tried to download the moc player. I searched the Arch-packade database, on archlinux.org and it came up. But when I tried to download the same packade in pacman, I got another program called "Meta Object Compiler". If "moc" is the keyword for Meta Object Compiler then what's the keyword for Music On Console (Obviously it isn't "moc" like archlinux.org says)?

Thanks in advance

I don't have these problems.  Sonata is definitely on the mirrors and moc is the audio player.  Have you updated your pacman database lately (pacman -Sy).

I can't even find that meta object thing and the moc package certainly is Music On Console (I just checked). What mirror do you use? Try pacman -Syy and then post the output of pacman -Ss moc. I hope your mirror isn't messing with the packages.

It worked to download Sonata after I updated the database. thank you

But moc is still the same, Meta Object Compiler. I've used two different sweedish mirrors. The problem is that the package is named exactly what music on console is (moc-2.4.3-2), but when I type 'moc' in the terminal, nothing happens and 'man moc' is a man page about meta object compiler.

You start the audio player with mocp
