[solved] pacman apart from core and extra repos

I just can't get pacman to update any other repos apart from core and extra since I am on arch64 - tried to change servers directly in pacman.conf and in the include files, unpacked the databases manually to /var/lib/pacman - can't seem to persue it though - what am I missing here?

Re: [solved] pacman apart from core and extra repos

Maybe you could post your pacman.conf and output of a pacman -Sy operation

Re: [solved] pacman apart from core and extra repos

sure! - pacman.conf:

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

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
NoUpgrade   = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow etc/sudoers
NoUpgrade   = etc/fstab etc/raidtab etc/ld.so.conf
NoUpgrade   = etc/rc.conf etc/rc.local
NoUpgrade   = etc/modprobe.conf etc/modules.conf
NoUpgrade   = etc/lilo.conf boot/grub/menu.lst
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
IgnorePkg   = kernel26
#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
#
#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/testing

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/core/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/core

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/extra/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/extra

#[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/community/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

#[unstable]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/unstable/os/x86_64
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

and - pacman -Sy:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra                    303.3K  373.6K/s 00:00:01 [#####################] 100%

Re: [solved] pacman apart from core and extra repos

You enable a repo not by uncommenting the Include or Server lines, but rather with uncommenting the [repo] lines.

Re: [solved] pacman apart from core and extra repos

you need to uncomment the headers in /etc/pacman.conf

change:

#[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/community/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

#[unstable]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/unstable/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/unstable

to

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/community/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

[unstable]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/unstable/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/unstable
