so i tried to install mediatomb from the respositories, and it didn't find the package anywhere. i updated and upgraded and all that, but still no mediatomb. i left it alone figuring that it might have been taken out or something like that.
today i tried to install yaourt, and it said it required a newer version of pacman than the one i have. i ran pacman -Syu, nothing changed, i checked the version i have, and sure enough it's a previous version than is required by yaourt. after reading about the differences between AUR-pacman wrappers, i'll probably use packer instead of yaourt, but there's definitely something fishy going on here.
are these two issues related? and how should they be solved? is there a problem with the mirrors i'm using? i'm not sure i even know where to start with this. i try to read up on everything i can find before i ask stupid questions, but i'm at a loss on this one.
thanks in advance folks!
incidentally, i'm running x86_64 on my pc, and i do have multilib enabled in pacman.conf. i also have base-devel installed already and successfully built dropbox from the AUR, so i'm not having any problems there. if that answers any questions about my setup.
