[solved] error: could not open sync database: shadowhand

When I run pacman -Syu I get this message:

pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
:: current is up to date
error: anonymous login failed
Control socket read failed: Success
:: extra is up to date
:: community is up to date

failed downloading /shadwohand/shadowhand.db.tar.gz from archpkg.wgilk.com: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

failed to synchronize shadowhand
error: could not open sync database: shadowhand
       have you used --refresh yet?


I saw one hint from Penguin:

"adjust your mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/<repo> by moving one up on the top of the list." Because there is no mirror from shadowhand I don't think, this would be helpful.

Hope it doesn't sound too confusing. FYI: network doesn't show any problems and the system is stable (I'm running XFCE4).

The last enry in pacman.conf:
[shadowhand]
Server = http://archpkg.wgilk.com/shadowhand

P.S. These wiki-pages are really helpful, thanks! Allthough very new to Linux I succeeded to setup a XFCE-Installation only with the help of the wikis.

Re: [solved] error: could not open sync database: shadowhand

my mistake, I saw the entry, which is out of date here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … ight=xfce4
, but according to the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sha … positories about the shadowhand repositories these are the correct entries

[papercut]
Server = http://arch.os-zen.net/user/shadowhand/ … t/packages


[mousetrap]
Server = http://arch.os-zen.net/user/shadowhand/ … p/packages

This is the development repo according to another thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … e4&start=0
[shadowhand]
Server = http://arch.os-zen.net/pkg/shadowhand

Edit: I've just seen, that this is the link, you mentioned. Thanks.
