[SOLVED] qt5-wayland not found when installing Krita

Hi, I'm still kind of new, but I figured this fit better here.

I'm trying to install Krita on KDE Plasma, but it's stalling at qt5-wayland-5.15.16+kde+r59-3-x86_64 before saying the requested URL returned error 404.

I've attempted through both yay and pacman (although I figured it wouldn't change). Is qt5-wayland-5.15.16 just gone or is there someway to still get it? Or maybe some way to bypass and still use Krita? I heard that they are working on updating Krita to not need qt5, but I have no idea how soon that will be.

Re: [SOLVED] qt5-wayland not found when installing Krita

Run a full system upgrade with `sudo pacman -Syu` first, then try reinstalling Krita.
If that didn't work, try updating your mirror list
An example of using reflector:

sudo reflector --verbose --sort rate -l 30 --download-timeout 60 --protocol https --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

You are facing an issue because you didn't update your system first. Whenever you get a 404 error when installing via pacman, it's a sign that your machine should do a full system update. Do a full system update and then try again

That worked and I'm upset with myself for not thinking to do that. I've already learned this...

Thanks guys, I'll update it as solved.
