Pacman doesn't find package in core

Pacman can't get this package: "rt2x00-cvs". The name is correct and it is in core. Pacman can't get this one either "rt2x00-rt61-fw". I have tried running pacman -Scc already. Not sure what is up with those errors either.

[root@(none) bgodea]# pacman -Sy rt2x00-cvs

I would reinstall acl and 3ddesktop because it looks like the files mentioned have been lost from the pacman database. Do they actually exist on your system?

I tried rt2x00-cvs and it worked. Have you tried a different mirror.

Reinstalled acl which is on my system, nothing changed.3ddesktop is not installed I tried to do so and it said the package was curropted (tried two mirrors),

I also tried changing the mirrors for core and extra, but all changes gave the same original output when I try to get the package.

Afaik, reinstalling a package only affect the local db, not the sync ones.
For affecting the sync ones, just refresh the sync databases with -Sy . You can force the refresh with -Syy .

Yep, my bad. I confused myself there...

Try running "pacman -Syy"

Crap, I didn't see that shining posted... you need an avatar so I can recognize your posts easier 8)

Success! Thanks, i had thought Pacman -Scc took care of that. (Got an avatar now also)
