[SOLVED] Weird pacman issue with wine

Good Morning Community,

I'm on X86_64. I've just brought a system out of the ground from a differnt distro. Arch is up and running well.

Then when I went to install wine .....pacman is giving me a strange error. Here is a cut n paste from the terminal

//-----------------Begin cut n pasted text
[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$ sudo pacman -S wine
error: 'wine': could not find or read package

[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$
//----------------- End cut n pasted text

I am using one mirror in the pacman.d/mirrorlist:

//----------------Begin cut n pasted text

Server = http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

//---------------- End cut n pasted text

And in using pacman to list packages, here is what I get
//----------------Begin cut n pasted text

[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$ sudo pacman -Sl|grep wine
community winefish 1.3.3-9
community winegame 0.2.0-1
community winestuff 0.2.0-1
community winetricks 20101222-1
[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$

//---------------- End cut n pasted text

Google returns nothing. And I've not found it in the forums, at least the ones I've been able to read in the last three hours.

Does anyone have any idea what's happening?

Ideas on what I can do to find out what's happening?

Help will be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely and respectfully,

Dave...........

Thank You!

I was not expecting such a quick response!

It's 04:00 here, and I need to get to bed. I feel like crap. (I'm an old guy).

I'll do it in the later today after I get some sleep, and report back.

Thank you!

Dave.....

I would rather do a virtual machine...

Which can't do all the things wine can, due to the considerable additional overhead. Regardless, how's that comment supposed to contribute to the topic at all, especially with no justification.

To the OP, please mark the thread [solved] by editing your first post title.
