[SOLVED] error: failed retrieving file from mirror : 404

When I try to install neomutt:

sudo pacman -S neomutt

I get the following error:

Re: [SOLVED] error: failed retrieving file from mirror : 404

is your system up-to-date?

try: sudo pacman -Syu

Your top mirror is out-of-date, check https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/

Pick a better mirror (e.g. use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Reflector) and update your system.

I tried some mirrors from "Successfully Syncing Mirrors" in https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/. Also tried running

sudo reflector --latest 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

, which added these mirrors:

################################################################################

# With:       reflector --latest 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Server = https://london.mirror.pkgbuild.com/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://mirror.telepoint.bg/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = rsync://mirror.telepoint.bg/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirror.f4st.host/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

But I still get the error.

Re: [SOLVED] error: failed retrieving file from mirror : 404

You get that after doing a full update again?

Apologies, I in fact had not upgraded my system after updating mirrorlist. Everything works now after a quick system upgrade. Thank you.
