I'm having problems w/ my pacman configuration, I type in "pacman -A kdebase" and I get "Error loading package, package may not exist" but that's crap because I'm sitting here looking at the package. Helep me please! :cry:

wrong option...
pacman -S <package name> will download the package
pacman -A <file name> will install a file
in the case of -A, you need to use the full file name... i.e. "pacman -A kdebase-7.8.9-1.pkg.tar.gz"

Thanks, I'm just an idiot that's used to debian's apt-get commands

pacman -S <package name> will download the package
Sorry I need to add here. pacman -S <package name> will download and install the package. pacman -Sw <package name> will only download the package but not install it.

pacman -S <package> actually looks at pacman.conf for the repositories containing that package, and will download the package from the mirrors indicated in /etc/pacman.d/
pacman -A <package> will not look at any configuration file. <package> must be a real file name like package-1.0-1.tgz.

"pacman -A /path/to/file/filexxx*.tar.gz" should also work fine for files stored locally, which don't have missing dependencies.
