Pacman will not make a update

Hi, I've returned from hollidays (2 months maby) and wanted to do an update, but pacman cannot connect to any mirror...

Post pacman output
Or try another mirror.

Re: Pacman will not make a update

$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from mirror.archlinux.no : Nettverket er ikke tilgjengelig
error: failed to update core (Nettverket er ikke tilgjengelig)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from mirror.archlinux.no : Nettverket er ikke tilgjengelig

"Nettverket er ikke tilgjengelig"  means that the network is unavailable. Though, I'm writing to you now on the same computer...

Ahh, sorry. Somehow now I must use pacman.conf to change mirrior, and not mirrorlist... my bad.

Ok, upgraded pacman, got this: /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries:

libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

No you don't.
You probably changed this in the past:

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Use "Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist"
