pacman doesn't upgrade and update the system properly

unixbhaskar · 2010-09-06 06:09:36

It's been almost one and half months that my system is not getting upgrade or update, what all I go t is :

bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_11:28:06_Mon Sep 06:/etc> sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do

Here is my mirrorlist url ,which I am using for long long time:

Server = http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis … po/os/i686
Server = http://archlinux.mirrors.uk2.net/$repo/os/i686
Server = http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/i686

Now please look at the installed packages..I am paranoid about systemupgrade and update and I do it very frequently....

Plase use code tags. And the search function.

Choose a updated mirror from https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus

ibiblio last sync is 24-Jul-2010, its not more on mirror lists.

Probably because of http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 17431.html

Bhaskar, use code tag to put the lengthy list. Try by changing the mirror preferably with .fr. Check your config file and have a look at pacman log when it got lost updated.

kazuo, beat me by ~ one minute.

Change your pacman.conf to include:

Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

For core, extra, community and multilib (if applicable), do an Syy and off you go

kzlazy · 2010-09-09 11:43:09

I have the same problem (not getting updates etc for some weeks now plus a long list of packages of my pc that appear to be newer than the update server's).
I edited /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist according to the mirror status sticky, verified that pacman.conf includes the former file, but still no cigar.
I do not believe that there could be such a big update "silence", so there must be something else wrong with my system.
What else do you think I should do?

Server = http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

Works for me.

Still nothing. Even with that server this is what I get

karol · 2010-09-09 11:57:35

Run 'pacman -Syy'. virtuoso 6.1.2-1 is in extra, so you've probably forgot to refresh the mirrorlist. Use only that one server, comment out all the rest.
