I just came across a problem with a repo mirror....
pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve "libjpeg>=7", a dependency of "ffmpegthumbnailer"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ffmpegthumbnailer: requires libjpeg>=7Seemed odd to me as libjpeg was updated to 7 several days ago.
pacman -Q libjpeg
libjpeg 6b-6???? So extra is up to date but I still have an old libjpeg.
I live in Thailand and decided to use the Australian mirrors. I checked on the first server in my mirrorlist,
Server = ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/i686, and saw that libjpeg is absent from Extra. Not even an old version, just totally missing!
Ok, the solution is simple.... use another mirror.
But clearly this is a pain is the a$$. How can one know which servers are reliable and up to date?
Does anyone check this stuff? Perhaps a script could be run that checks the contents of the mirrors against the main server, and posts the results on the Arch website where users can check?
