Problems installing vlc

Hi.

I just tried to install vlc. Problem is, in it's dependencies is a package called libvpx. That package should be in extra, but unfortunately i can't install it because the package can not be found on any server. Does anybody know anything about that?

Try changing your first server. It's there (look i.e. http://mir.archlinux.fr/extra/os/i686/)

Re: Problems installing vlc

On my preffered server it is there:
http://mirror.selfnet.de/archlinux/extr … pkg.tar.xz
http://mirror.selfnet.de/archlinux/extr … pkg.tar.xz

It has been upgraded just today...

You can install it with pacman -U http://mirror.selfnet.de/archlinux/extr … pkg.tar.xz directly (but you probably shouldn't because of possible version mismatch)

Thanks a lot. I tried many different servers, but now i made many more available and so I was able to install it.

Cheers, Mario
