error: 'wine': not found in sync db

Hey all,
Been running archx86_64 for a while now (and i love it ), but been having a bit of trouble with pacman recently, and despite my seaches, have not found a solution.

[root@myhost etc]# pacman -Sy wine
:: Synchronizing package databases...

error: 'wine': not found in sync db

I'll just post my /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# Unstable is disabled by default.  To enable, uncomment the following
# two lines.  You can add preferred servers immediately after the header,
# and they will be used before the default mirrors.
#[unstable]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# Australia
Server = ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

I have recently done

pacman -Syu

and just in case your wondering:

[elfguy@myhost ~]$ pacman -V

 .--.                  Pacman v3.2.1 - libalpm v3.1.0

Wine does not build for x86_64 so you won't find it in the repo. You should to look into the lib32 version on the AUR.

So why ther are Wine x86_64 packages in other distros, for example in Debian? I'm just curious, where's the problem...

Those distros are by default multi-lib setups. They aren't pure 64 bit.

In the AUR, the package is called bin32-wine (I just installed it to test it out....haven't really used it yet, other than running winecfg). I don't think any of the distros have an actual 64 bit wine, but wine packaged to run with 32 bit libraries (pretty sure, at least ). To help find stuff like that more easily in the AUR, I like installing yaourt right away, then using it in lieu of pacman for normal daily package searching and management, with some handy alias's so I don't have to type yaourt all the time:

alias ys='yaourt -Ss'
alias yi='yaourt -S'
alias yu='yaourt -Syu --aur'
alias yr='yaourt -Rs'

Thus: ys wine -- gives you everthing applicable without leaving the terminal

I know about yaourt - good stuff, but thanks.
