error: failed retrieving file ....
Hello!
Trying to install unrar with pacman, but keep getting:
:: Retrieving packages from extra...
error: failed retrieving file 'unrar-3.9.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from archlinux.polymorf.fr : Not Found
warning: failed to retrieve some files from extra
error: failed to commit transaction (Not Found)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I have tried several different mirrors, nothing works..
What might be the problem?
Cheers!

Update your system first.

Re: error: failed retrieving file ....
Partial upgrades are not supported. Is there a problem with updating your system?
Currently Arch has unrar 4.2.4-1 in the repos, so no wonder pacman cannot find version 3.9.10-1. Seems like your sync database is out of date. Update your system and then install new packages.
