[SOLVED] error: target not found: sopcast

Why can't pacman find sopcast, it's in the list of packages? I can't make pacman find any of the sopcast packages (gsopcast, qsopcast)?
I have community and multilib repositories uncommented.

Have you synced them with 'pacman -Syy'?

$ pacman -Ss sopcast
multilib/gsopcast 0.4.0-6
    A GTK front-end of p2p TV sopcast
multilib/qsopcast 0.3.8.1-1
    A Qt front-end to p2p TV sopcast
multilib/sopcast 3.2.6-1
    The Streaming Direct Broadcast System based on P2P

Yes, I did it a few times, it's so strange!

Well, since they are synced I would look at your mirrorlist next. Open one of the mirrors directly in your browser and search for the package. The variables need to be substituted or just go to the highest directory directly available. Maybe pacmans database got corrupted.
You could download the package that way and install it with 'pacman -U package'.

I'm going through my mirrorlist now.
I tried downloading the package directly from the mirror (under Package Actions) and installing it with pacman -U I got the following error:
pacman -U sopcast-3.2.6-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
loading packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package sopcast-3.2.6-1-i686 does not have a valid architecture

Do you see pacman sync multilib when you run "pacman -Syy"? Maybe you failed to uncomment the repo properly.

-edit-

As you mention multilib, you're probably an x86_64 user thus you should get an x86_64 package, not i686.

Post your pacman.conf.

ok, I'm an idiot.... I got it, I knew it had to be something with the mirrorlist or pacman.conf ......the repo wasn't correctly uncommented... I'm really not this stupid, I promise Thanks for the help!

Do not worry about it, we all make mistakes. Now you have grown.
