[SOLVED] pacman download old version of go

when i try to install go every mirror returns 404 error

i did a fresh install yestarday.
and now im trying to set everyting up
nothing strange happed during the instalation process

my first mirror is hosting go-2:1.14.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
while pacman is trying to download go-2:1.14.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

i did Synchronize package databases
but its still trying the old version

is this a bug in the database or did i do something wrong?
can i force pacman to download the newer version ?

Re: [SOLVED] pacman download old version of go

Your first mirror is bad.  Remove it.  It is providing an outdated sync database.

EDIT: The sync db on that mirror has *very* recently been updated.  Is it still failing in the same way?  I just confirmed their sync db for community does have the proper version of go.  I gather it was providing a bad sync db, but just got patched up.  This is still a sign of a very bad mirror - chose quality mirrors.

Re: [SOLVED] pacman download old version of go

Check https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/

mirror.i3d.net is at the top of the out-of-sync list.

If your first mirror is bad, it doesn't matter what state the other mirrors are in.

thank you that helped
maybe not include mirrors that are out-of-sync on the Mirrorlist Generator
