[SOLVED] Pacman complains ... (no, it was clyde)

JackH79 · 2010-07-04 04:06:20

After the update to pacman 3.4 and reading http://www.archlinux.org/news/503/, I updated my pacman.conf from the pacman.conf.pacnew and added the line

Architecture = i686

(tried "= auto" as well).
Pacman worked fine, but I had forgotten to update my mirrorlist as well -- until now.

With the new mirrorlist doing "pacman -Syu" I get:

error: The mirror 'ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch' contains the $arch variable, but no Architecture is defined.
error: The mirror 'ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch' contains the $arch variable, but no Architecture is defined.
error: The mirror 'ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch' contains the $arch variable, but no Architecture is defined.
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to update core (no servers configured for repository)
error: failed to update extra (no servers configured for repository)
error: failed to update community (no servers configured for repository)

(same for other mirrors).

Am I missing soemthing?

I have 'Architecture = auto' and it's working fine.

As I said: I tried "auto" as well. Same result.

EDIT:
Oh the shame of it!!!!!!

Completely forgot that I had installed clyde to try it out (and I had an alias called 'pacman', which is why I didn't notice ). D'oh.

Sorry for the confusion.

I've seen it, that's why I wrote that it works for me as a polite way of saying "I'm sure it's your fault, go fix your stuff".
Glad you've solved it.
