Re: No matter what IVe tried, I cant update to kde 4.4

also try reflector, it's the best when it comes to finding most up-to-date mirrors...

Re: No matter what IVe tried, I cant update to kde 4.4

i put the arch one first.. and this is what I got...
I already did the pacman -Sy --asdeps qt (I already had the full package installed, nothing to download it just reinstalled)

pacman -Syyu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core                      36.3K   63.3K/s 00:00:01 [###################################################] 100%
extra                    444.2K  340.4K/s 00:00:01 [###################################################] 100%

local database is up to date

what am i missing?
