[SOLVED] Package out-of-date cannot be found by pacman

Hello all,

I'm new to the forums, and I've been rocking Arch Linux for a few months now.

Today I wanted to install some packages from the AUR for android development ("android-sdk", etc.), but they seem to depend on lib32-ncurses. I went on to install that manually, as it couldn't be resolved, but pacman cannot find it. When I looked on the web interface - https://www.archlinux.org/packages/mult … 2-ncurses/ - there is the message "Flagged out-of-date on 2016-04-29" followed by "Versions Elsewhere", but these don't seem to contain the same files.

What is the best way for me to resolve this? Should I just download the package from a mirror, anyway, or should I somehow look for another package to which lib32-ncurses was migrated or something?

Thanks,
- Stan

It is in the multilib repository, have you enabled it?

Now I have! Thanks a lot I didn't know that I had to.

As an aside: why would one like to have a "pure 64-bit system"?

Well, if you don't use any 32-bit applications, there's no point keeping the 32-bit libraries around taking up disk space and using your bandwidth when they need updating.

Please remember to mark your thread as solved by editing your first post and amending the title.
