[SOLVED]perl-html-parser and perl-libwww missing from mirrors

Hi folks, Yet Another Newbie Archer here

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Also, the powerpill package seems to be in two repos:

[~] yaourt -Ss powerpill
community/powerpill 16.1-2 
     A wrapper for pacman that speeds up package retrieval by using aria2c for
     concurrent/segmented downloads.
aur/powerpill 16.1-2 (398)
    A wrapper for pacman that speeds up package retrieval by using aria2c for concurrent/segmented downloads.

Please let me know if this is the wrong place to report this.

Cheers.

Re: [SOLVED]perl-html-parser and perl-libwww missing from mirrors

Try adding this repo in your /etc/pacman.conf file:

[xyne-any]
Server = http://xyne.archlinux.ca/repos/any

Then run:

pacman -Syy

And last:

pacman -Su

Hi MindTooth, thanks for your reply.

I tried adding the repo you suggested, but encountered the same problem. The powerpill package in all the repos I've tried (including xyne) is identically named, so presumably has identical contents

The xyne repo hasn't got the missing perl-html-parser and perl-libwww packages.

Re: [SOLVED]perl-html-parser and perl-libwww missing from mirrors

Try another mirror. Your mirror is out of date. The current versions are:

perl-html-parser 3.62-1
perl-libwww 5.831-1

Or try : pacman -Syu
it will update your local db and do a system update. That could also be the problem.

Thanks for your replies.

I had already synced my local db - I should have mentioned that in the original post.

I just tried installing powerpill again, and it magically worked - the perl-* dependencies are now consistent with the versions in the repos, so it was probably another propagation error.

In future I will be more patient
