i just installed the newest version of pacman because yaourt needed it.

now i cannot install any package, and im stuck with a torrent slave with no torrent software installed :@

[root@torrentslave yaourt]# pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to update core (unexpected error)
error: failed to update extra (unexpected error)
error: failed to update community (unexpected error)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
[root@torrentslave yaourt]#

what do i do to sort this out?

thanks

edit nm: the new mirror list was all commented out by default

I got the same problem since yesterday as well.

It'll be your mirror. Check you pacman.conf - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Repositories

my conf file is the same as in the link you posted.

I updated using pacman -Syu recently fine, but since then I get error as described above.

Pacman's output will have said something about either files being installed as .pacnew, or saved as .pacsave

Did you review those files and merge where appropriate?

nope, output was exactly the same as first post of this thread.

for all that have the problem. check /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and see if is a mirror uncommented.

I meant when you installed the new version of pacman -- my fault for not being clear.
