nothing to do...

greengold · 2010-09-20 13:21:13

hello!
Im getting this "error" every time I try to fully update my system...
I have uncommented repositories, uncommented multiple servers, I did pacman -Syy for recognising new sources...
I didn't updete system for about month so its impossible that there are no new updates
What's this about?

scarletxfi · 2010-09-20 13:30:44

what happens when you do :
Pacman -Syu
?

what is the exact error? are you mirrors up to date?

change the _first_ mirror with one up to date

I did it...
it synchronizes mirrors but "there is nothing to do"...

wonder · 2010-09-20 13:52:59

from what i see is using ftp.sh.cvut.cz which is very very very very very out of date.

paste pacman.conf and note that you don't need multilib if you are on i686

I didnt notest that I had uncommented that mirror.. thanks!
I Hope that will be enought...

greengold · 2010-09-20 16:42:45

but what's this about?

error: failed retrieving file 'gcc-4.5.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from mirrors.kernel.org : Service not available, closing control connection

Server = ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch mirror should be up to date...

Dogmeat · 2010-09-20 16:44:56

Use http instead of ftp (Server = http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch).

that is a bug in libfetch and once you update that everything would work correctly

greengold · 2010-09-20 17:00:55

will see

I also can't upgrade my system but I have no errors.

sudo pacman -Syu
Password:
:: 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

Several days already... I have Firefox 3.6.9. AFAIK there's 3.6.10 in repos. What's wrong with my system?

Put in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist in the first place:
Server = http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
and then do pacman -Syu

karol · 2010-09-22 13:24:31

Try ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/

If you need just one or two packages, you can download them manually http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/firefox/

@Mr. Alex is very easy to found out your problem. for example the first mirror from your link is not even in our status page, meaning is very very very out of date. just click on the above link and you can figure it out

karol · 2010-09-22 13:46:14

https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus has a nice list of mirrors that are up-to-date, as was already pointed out by wonder. Please do read and follow suggestions before posting: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 74#p828874

Dogmeat · 2010-09-22 13:52:17

This page for mirror status check http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ is nice too, maybe even a better one.

Mr. Alex · 2010-09-22 13:57:09

Thanks! The problem was fixed when I found mirrorlist.pacnew and replaced old one with this. Now everything works.
