[Solved] Pacman won't find/install some packages

Hi!

I have just installed Arch and Gnome 3 and it works pretty good. Never used Arch or Gnome 3 before, so I guess it will take some time getting use to everything.

However, I have already run into something that I can't manage to work, and that is pacman who doesn't want to install some packages like firefox-nightly and ttf-ms-fonts.

[daniel@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S firefox-nightly
Password: 
error: target not found: firefox-nightly
[daniel@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts
error: target not found: ttf-ms-fonts

What am I doing wrong?

firefox-nightly is in the aur. See the wiki on how to install from the aur. If you find yourself frequently using packages from there, you might consider using an aur helper.

Edit: And of course, welcome to arch smile

Just for the record, [archstuff] repo has it too: firefox-nightly 4.0b9pre-1
You can find many unofficial user repositories here.
