[Solved] Yaourt/Pacman can't find some official [testing] packages

areuz · 2017-03-28 22:32:12

For the last hour I was debugging why a few packages on my system just stopped working (after a update).
MPV was throwing errors about missing libraries and my freaking network manager (connman) stopped working after a restart.

I discovered, that some dependencies - libbluray & iptables - got upgraded to their [testing] versions without the parent package MPV and Connman. It was a real pain in the ass reverting packages and downloading [testing] versions via a browser.

Oh yeah, and about the title. Even specifying 'yaourt -S testing/connman testing/mpv' doesn't work. It just said 'target not found'.

Yaourt is not a package manager: don't use it in place of one.

Updates to connman and mpv have been pushed to [testing].

Yaourt is a pacman frontend (wrapper). Even if you swap everything I said with 'pacman' it doesn't work - actually tested, not just saying it for the heck of it.
And yes, I do know. But pacman still can't download them. I had to manually download the pkgs and throw them into the cache.

Both packages work for me. Make sure your mirror is up-to-date.

Used the online www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ to generate new mirrors, that may have fixed it - i don't see some of the output I saw before.
Thanks!
