Re: Pacman Issues [SOLVED]

Do

pacman -Syu python

Current version of python 3 in the repo is 3.1.3-1.

Re: Pacman Issues [SOLVED]

I'm guessing that you have an error in your pacman.conf where the variable called Architecture is not defined

Re: Pacman Issues [SOLVED]

Right.. I had a problem in the pacman.conf file. Seemingly the repo files were not getting updated. I manually extracted the repo file and tried working it out. It worked out.

Thanks all.
