Hey everyone, I've been having a minor issue with pacman recently, I don't think it's a major deal but I would like to know if there is anything I can do to fix it. Recently when I try to sync or upgrade or install anything from pacman it doesn't seem to check the community repository. I recently upgraded pacman to the newest version and a couple of new files were inserted into my /etc/pacman.d/ folder: {current,community,extra}.pacnew which I looked at and they seemed to be just updated versions of my origional repos so I copied their contents into the community, extra, current files so pacman would check in the servers listed there.
Here is my pacman.conf:
[current]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/current
[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/extra
#[unstable]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/unstable
#[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community
But here is pacman -Sy:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
current is up to date
extra is up to date
local database is up to date
**EDIT** By the way in case it helps, I'm on Arch 64. Thought I'd mention this because my x86 machine isn't having this problem yet **EDIT**

Make this:
#[community]
look like this:
[community]
... in other words, remove the #

Found the problem! Upon closer inspection of community.pacnew which I copied to my community repo file, I saw that it is missing the [community] label at the top which apparently is required for it to be checked. So I don't know whether or not this was isolated in my machine only or whether the new pacman files generated by a pacman update are missing that in Community but this is what it should look like (for Arch64):
[community]
