[SOLVED] Missing old package version on mirrors

Hi,

I'm trying to update my system after a couple weeks, mirrors seem to be missing multiple files such as linux-headers-5.14.9 (current version is 5.14.10 which is present).
Running

pacman -Syyu

does *not* fix the problem, pacman still requires 5.14.9, and I get the same result after trying more than a dozen mirrors (also multiple mirrors cause SSL errors or return HTTP errors…).

Is there something specific to do in that kind of situation ?

Fix your mirror list.

Re: [SOLVED] Missing old package version on mirrors

I would love to, but /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist is owned by pacman-mirrorlist, and according to pacman itself, it is up-to-date (pacman-mirrorlist-20210822-1).
Is there an official procedure to force an update of the mirror list for somewhere else ?

Re: [SOLVED] Missing old package version on mirrors

It's just a text file. Use the mirror status page on the wiki to identify some known good mirrors, and uncomment/add them.

Re: [SOLVED] Missing old package version on mirrors

And now the kernel.org mirror gives me the right package list, so it seems I was stuck between mirror updates. The multiple SSL and HTTP errors on various mirrors are scary, but as long as it works for at least one mirror, I'm fine.
Thank you !
