Still no dice.

So are you using [multilib], [multilib-testing], or both?

Both

# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

[multilib-testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

Second person in 24 hours with this "anomaly". Perhaps there is a bug in the pacman.conf being shipped by $derivative?

Please use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_code

...and you are doing it wrong: reread the page I quoted.

BuzzKillerOfFire · 2015-08-05 01:56:02

I'm confused, how am I doing it wrong? It just says to uncomment and update the package list, no?

jasonwryan · 2015-08-05 01:58:03

Where does it say anything about uncommenting [multilib-testing]? That should only be uncommented if you also uncomment [testing] (and you should only do that if you know what you are doing).

BuzzKillerOfFire · 2015-08-05 02:14:27

Hmmm... Would me doing that possibly be the cause of this?

Not possibly; definitely.

BuzzKillerOfFire · 2015-08-05 02:17:42

Recommenting that has fixed it. Thank you.

Why are you using testing repos? What steps did you take to make using them safe?

What's the output of

uname -a

Arch Linux
