[Solved]Pacman cannot find updates.

Hi everyone.
Since a week when I try to update arch, pacman can't find any packages to update, and I don't think it's normal.

If I type

# pacman -Syu 

or

# pacman -Syyuu 

the results are the same, pacman says that there are no updates.
even checkupdates don't show anything.

For example:
my flashplugin package is at 31.0.0.108-1
flashplugin version at https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … ashplugin/ today is 31.0.0.122-1

my vlc is at 3.0.4-4
vlc at https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vlc/ today is 3.0.4-6

If I try to reinstall them

# pacman -S vlc flashplugin 

the packages found are 3.0.4-4 and 31.0.0.108-1.

Even with packages not installed.
If i look for tensorflow, the version proposed is 1.10.1-2;
but again at https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … ensorflow/ tensorflow today is 1.11.0-2.

My mirror list is up to date, I've just refreshed it yesterday.
If other informations are requested, tell me!

Did you change the top mirror?   It may be out of date.

Re: [Solved]Pacman cannot find updates.

I've generated the mirrorlist directly from https://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ as https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirrors suggests.
Now I've checked at https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ my top mirror and I can confirm that it is up to date.

This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.

Thank you so much.
