Re: Can't install powerpill (solved)

You can't perform redirections like that with sudo.  You'll either have to run it directly as root, edit the file manually, or use some type of workaround:

$ sudo sh -c 'echo -e "\n[xyne-any]\nServer = http://xyne.archlinux.ca/repos/any/\n" >> /etc/pacman.conf'

$ echo -e "\n[xyne-any]\nServer = http://xyne.archlinux.ca/repos/any/\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf
