[SOLVED] 'sg3_utils' package not available from mirrors.

Hi, all!

Just setting-up an xfce desktop and when I install some of the xfce4-goodies, 'sg3_utils' is called for as a dependency. All my other packages are retrieved, but the 'sg3_utils' package cannot be found. This prevents installation of the packages. I have changed my mirror list so that I can get the package elsewhere, but none of the mirrors I have tried, have it.

Is anyone else getting this? Is it a known problem?

### UPDATE: Just noticed that package 'sg3_utils 1.30-1' has recently been issued as an update and my install is trying to download v1.29-1-i686

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris.

Re: [SOLVED] 'sg3_utils' package not available from mirrors.

pacman -Syu sg3_utils

You're trying to fetch a version that doesn't exist on the mirrors.

Thank you! Makes sense, but I wonder why the dependency process is asking for the wrong one?

Chris.

Re: [SOLVED] 'sg3_utils' package not available from mirrors.

Because your local sync database is old. Dependencies are resolved locally, so the old database looks for the old dependency.
