[SOLVED] Upgrade attempts to install wrong linux version

I ran pacman -Syu and it worked on most of my systems, but on one small Lenovo laptop I get the following error :

error: failed retrieving file 'linux-5.11.10.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from <mirror host name> : The requested URL returned error: 404

I get this for all the mirror host names in my mirror list. My other systems upgraded to linux-5.11.11 rather than 5.11.10, that went fine. I'm not sure why this one system is trying to upgrade to 5.11.10, which seems out of date. That would explain why it can't be found at any of the mirrors.

I often run paceman -Sc on this system but I can't see that that would affect anything. I keep them all reasonably up to date. The version I have on this system currently is :

# pacman -Q | grep linux | grep 5.11
linux 5.11.8.arch1-1

Should I be forcing this system to upgrade to 5.11.11 and if so how would I do that?

Change to an up-to-date mirror.

Re: [SOLVED] Upgrade attempts to install wrong linux version

/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist was generated on  2021-03-02, I'm using the "Worldwide" and "United States" sections. So from that perspective it's up to date I think? But perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean.

None of that means the top mirror (the one that matters) is any good.

Disregard,  it started working when I started using the German mirrors. Marking as solved.
