Re: [SOLVED] libx11 fails pacman update

Should be fixed now, both packages were just updated and I could perform the update without issue.

For some reason this is still broken for me:

Re: [SOLVED] libx11 fails pacman update

Try an up-to-date mirror, or wait for yours to catch up.

Note: you don't need two 'y's in your update command. If there's an updated package database, pacman will download it.

Re: [SOLVED] libx11 fails pacman update

Ah, I could have guessed. Thank you.

Regarding your note, this is what pacman's manpage says: "Passing two --refresh or -y flags will force a refresh of all package databases, even if they appear to be up-to-date". Is this undesirable behavior?

Re: [SOLVED] libx11 fails pacman update

If there isn't an update on the mirror, then you're just causing unnecessary traffic by re-downloading the same package databases again.

There are rare cases where you may have a local package database file which is either a) corrupted in a way that it appears newer than the remote file, or b) is actually newer than the remote file, but you need to downgrade your system to match that repo (in which case you also need two 'u's). This situation is neither of those cases.

Thank you for taking the time to clarify, this wasn't clear to me.
