Problems trying to update with Pacman

gab1to · 2009-06-14 00:55:32

So I installed Arch Linux for the first time and its awesome. I updated Pacman and after googling I learned that you have to uncomment some servers from the mirror list. I did it and the problem was solved. Yesterday was working but today is not working. Here is the output from pacman -Syy:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br : No address record
error: failed to update core (No address record)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br : No address record
error: failed to update extra (No address record)

error: failed retrieving file 'community.db.tar.gz' from archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br : No address record

 kdemod-testing            55.6K   64.1K/s 00:00:01 [####################] 100%

I can't update the core and extra packages but kdemod is updating. That's weird. Here is my /etc/pacman.conf

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst   = pacman
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl %u > %o
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGro$
#IgnorePkg   =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade   =
#NoExtract   =

# Misc options (all disabled by default)
#NoPassiveFtp
#UseSyslog
#ShowSize
#UseDelta
#TotalDownload

#
# 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
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# Testing is disabled by default.  To enable, uncomment the following
# two lines.  You can add preferred servers immediately after the header,
# and they will be used before the default mirrors.
#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Server=http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/core/os/i686
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
[extra]
Server=http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/extra/os/i686
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first

[kdemod-core]
Server=http://chakra-project.org/repo/core/i686

[community]
Server=http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/community/os/i686
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

[kdemod-extragear]
Server=http://chakra-project.org/repo/extragear/i686
[kdemod-playground]
Server=http://chakra-project.org/repo/playground/i686
[kdemod-testing]
Server=http://chakra-project.org/repo/testing/i686

All Servers from /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist are uncommented.
What Im doing wrong?

What Im doing wrong?

Following the wrong instructions maybe?
The Beginners guide, if that's what you followed to install had you going in the right direction.
The only mirrors that needed to be uncommented were the ones in your country.
There is also a package you could install that would rate the mirrors for you and keep the fastest six in a file to access automatically.
I don't recognize the address you have for core, but that doesn't mean it isn't a legit addy either.
I also don't see extra or the community repo in your pacman.conf.
No clue what you have done so no real clue how to fix it.

For instance:

I updated Pacman and after googling I learned that you have to uncomment some servers from the mirror list. I did it and the problem was solved.

What problem?
If you were able to update pacman, something was working.

Pelos seus mirrors vejo que tá no Brasil

Os mirrors da ufpr às vezes dão pau.... comente-os e use os da unicamp quando isso ocorrer...

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/$repo/os/x86_64
#Server = ftp://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/$repo/os/x86_64
#Server = ftp://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Server = ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

O meu já ta comentado por causa disso, nos últimos dias ( hoje?) eles não tavam funcionando...

EDIT: é claro, utilize o repositório da sua arquitetura.... ( copie-os do /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist )

Everything was working before the update and after the update.

Thanks a lot. I don't know portuguese but I speak spanish so I can understand portuguese a little. Problem solved.

Oh, sorry, I judged by your choice of mirrors....
But glad I could help.

It's simply a mirror that is not working correctly. You can check the mirror status here:
