[SOLVED] Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do
"Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do" is the only message I have ever seen when using pacman -Syu. I have no problem installing files but pacman cannot seem to EVER find updates to anything. Even when I know that a package has been updated in the repositories, pacman never acknowledges it. Some examples of applications are:
Python2 - Installed - 2.6.5-3, Available - 2.7.1-4
Geany - Installed 0.19-1, Available - 0.20-1
Pacman - Installed 3.4.0-2, Available - 3.4.2-1
Even if I try to specify the repository, for Geany for instance, "pacman -S community/geany", it still sees it as up-to-date.
It's quite possible that I'm going about something the wrong way but I don't ever recall the system actually finding updates (since June). My pacman.conf looks as follows:
MOD EDIT -- Please use code tags to display any output and of files -- Inxsible
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

24sHD,
Please use code tags around the file output that you are showing instead of creating unnecessarily long posts.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Re: [SOLVED] Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do
Might be worth looking here
http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/#successful
And changing trying a different mirror
Then pacman -Syyu
EDIT code removed from first post

Re: [SOLVED] Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do
Also try to read the wiki about pacman and mirrorlist. Simply uncommenting multiple mirrors does not give you the ability to get packages from all of them. pacman will connect to each one in order. If it can connect to the first one and see that pacman is available it does not connect to the next mirror to see if some other mirror has an updated version of not.
It connects to the next mirror if and only if a certain package is not available on the first mirror or the mirror itself is down.

Re: [SOLVED] Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do
Thank you all, it was the mirror list that needed an updating. The link was much appreciated skunktrader! For all of the time I spent on the wiki about Pacman I just couldn't figure it out until now.
