Packages in extra not found by Pacman

Yes · 2008-10-12 20:12:48

Whenever I try searching for a package in extra, Pacman can't find it. I've tried a few mirrors, it's the same for all of them. Does anyone know what's wrong? Here's what the extra section of my /etc/pacman.conf looks like -

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Server = ftp://mirrors.portafixe.com/archlinux/$repo/os/i686

Thanks.

Try re-downloading the package lists with `pacman -Syy'.

wonder · 2008-10-12 20:16:44

why to you have server line in [extra]?
delete that line and select prefered mirror from /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. leave only "Include = ..." line

then do pacman -Syy

Ok, I deleted everything except the Include line under [extra] and ran pacman -Syy, and it still can't find any packages in extra.

post the output of pacman -Syy --debug

btw what package to you want to find?
