extra is missing packages? [SOLVED itself]

jordanmthomas · 2007-09-16 19:42:41

After updating pacman today and learning about the new core repository, my extra repository seems to be messed up.
For instance, I wanted to install xscreensaver but it couldn't be found, so I went and looked and it's supposed to be in extra. I figured this was just a one-program thing, so I went about my business.

Later, I was going to install bc...it's not there either. I can't find imagemagick. These are supposedly in extra, but they're not in mine.

So, at this point I figure I'm doing something wrong, but my extra does have stuff in it, just not the stuff I'm wanting to install.

Is this something I should just wait out or do you think something's wrong with my configuration?

pacman.conf:

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman manpage for option directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#

[gnome]
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/gnome/os/i686

[testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/testing

#[current]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/current

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/core

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/extra

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

[unstable]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/unstable

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs
[compiz-fusion]
Server = http://arch.nesl247.org/compiz-fusion/i686

[tardo]
Server = http://nagi-fanboi.net/arch/i686

And here's my extra file in pacman.d (there's more to it, but I'm leaving it out because it's just the normal, stock file:

#
# extra: Arch Linux extra repository
#

# United States
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686
Server = ftp://ftp.nethat.com/pub/linux/archlinux/extra/os/i686
Server = ftp://locke.suu.edu/linux/dist/archlinux/extra/os/i686
Server = ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/extra/os/i686
Server = ftp://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/ArchLinux/extra/os/i686
Server = http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/archlinux/extra/os/i686
Server = ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/extra/os/i686

# South America
# - Brazil
Server = http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/extra/os/i686
#.....and so on

Hopefully I'm just missing something stupid here, but any help is appreciated.

How about now... it may have just taken a while for your mirror to sync.

jordanmthomas · 2007-09-17 00:27:46

No, the packages are still missing for now. I suppose I'll just wait a few days and see if maybe my mirror's just not synced up yet.
