Hi everyone,
Being a fairly newbie to Arch, I have some problems with installing Openbox. When I do a:
pacman -Sy openbox
I get this error:
error: failed retrieving file 'libxml2-2.7.3-3.i686.pkg.tar.gz' from miror.lividpenguin.com : Not Found
warning: failed to fetch some files from extra
error: failed to commit transaction (Not Found)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
As the forum suggests, I have tried to change to a different mirror by choosing various different ones in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. I have also uncommented the extra repository in /etc/pacman.conf. Still, I get the above error. What is the workaround here? As I look forward to get my Eeepc 901 up and running with a graphical interface, any help would be highly appriciated. Regards Bjarke

I'm not sure why you aren't finding it, but it is available on this mirror.

Are you running pacman -Syy after changing mirrors?

Hi again,
Thank you for the swift reply. Peart, changing to the above mirror did the trick :-). I am not sure whether I have ever issued the command suggested by rusty. I will of course bear this in mind when tinkering with mirrors list next time.
