having trouble with Pacman after update

Hi everyone,

I performed a system update this morning and I noticed it first upgraded Pacman to 3.04. I ran the update again and it installed the remaining updates without issues.

However, I just tried to install a new package I needed and Pacman does not seem to be functioning correctly anymore. If I run "pacman -Ss foo" foo being a package name that exists in the database, pacman will return nothing as if it couldn't find anything. When I run "pacman -Sy" it claims current, community, extra and local database are up to date. I am not sure where the problem is as I haven't changed any config files today. I also performed a "pacman -Scc" to clear out my cache in case it was causing issues but that did not seem to help either.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi there,

For some reason it started working ok this morning. Unsure what happened yesterday, maybe my mirror was down or something.

Thanks though!
