pacman [error: * not found in sync db]

evilzore · 2009-12-18 18:15:34

Hello, i tried install mysql with pacman like pacman -S mysql
but it said me some dependencies are corrupt.
So i synchronized repository with pacman -Sy
but now it cant find a package (error: 'mysql' : not found in sync db). So i thought i can create pkgbuild from source then.. but i cant download abs (i uncommented all repository in '/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist' but nothing changed)
here is screen: (i tried 'pacman -Syy' too)

It is running in vmware and internet works fine.
Thank for your help

If you check in /etc/pacman.d/, do you have a file called "mirrorlist.pacnew"? The mirrorlist seems to have been updated, and generating a new mirrorlist solved a similar problem for me. To see if this solves your problem, so the following:

sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bak
sudo -s
rankmirrors /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
exit #signs you out of root shell

Then run:

sudo pacman -Syy

And see if that solves your problem.

This will move your mirrorlist file to mirrorlist.bak (just in case the problem lies elsewhere), and sudo -s will log you in as root, so that you can run the rankmirrors program (will choose the fastest pacman mirrors for you), and then diverts the results into a new mirrorlist file (which is why the root permissions are required). If this doesn't solve your problem, you can undo your changes by issuing the first command (sudo mv), with the two paths swapped (mirrorlist.bak first, the mirrorlist).

Hope that helps,

sadfully i have no 'mirrorlist.pacnew' in '/etc/pacman.d/'. But i have there mirrorlist~ so i tried it instead. But i noticed all repositories are commented so i uncommented it but problem continue but i dont knew about rankmirrors now i will use it next time

If you do a:

sudo pacman -Syy

(force refresh of database), does the problem persist? If it does, can you go to the mirrorlist, choose the first mirror listed there (as that's what pacman will use), and copy the URL into firefox (replacing, of course, the "$repo" variable with "extra", since that's the repo mysql is in), and check that the mysql package is actually present on the server. If not, comment that server and try the next.

Hope that helps,
Lswest

Also, if the problem isn't solved with either of the two suggestions above, could you post the entirety of your mirrorlist file in your next reply?

yes i forced synchronizing with database (pacman -Syy) but nothing changed.. but i looked to the first repositary from the mirrorlist and mysql is there.. but only my pacman doesnt see it :(
here is my 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.

# 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.
#
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

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

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