[SOLVED] minizip package is missing from the mirrors?

Arch packages like "chromium" and "code" depend on minizip-1:1.2.13-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst, but pacman's download attempts of this file are failing with 404 response codes from all default mirrors. Other packages are installing just fine. I can reproduce this with "sudo pacman -S minizip" or any of the packages that depend on it.

https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/minizip/

I found this issue but I can't tell if it is related: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72292

I haven't found other complaints about this issue specifically so I can't tell if it's just me, or why it would be. Any troubleshooting tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to the forums,
if your top mirror isn't lagging behind, try

# pacman -Syu minizip

EDIT: This does seem to be a packaging bug. You could file a bug report or directly email the package maintainer(s - pick one)... Nope, I cannot reproduce the error (minizip got an update just yesterday)...

EDIT#2: Response to post below: If you update on a regular basis (let's say weekly), a 'pacman -S <pkg>' normally is enough, but yeah, chances are that the package version in your local db is simply outdated, whenever pacman reports a '404'...

Oh wow. I didn't think I'd need to `pacman -Syu` so soon after a fresh install, but that makes sense. I'm up and running. Thank you!
