pacman -S question

Hi.

On my vps i have a fresh arch install. When I do 'pacman -S gcc' it says it cant find any packages. How come? It is one of the most generic packages out there, i'm guessing?

http://pastebin.com/WJGSHxdS

and here is my mirrorlist:

#

Server = [url]ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64[/url]
Server = [url]http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64[/url]

with everything else commented. Eh'' ?

Re: pacman -S question

Try pacman -Syy or changing your mirror. Maybe it'll help.
Edit: Oh! You're not supposed to have the url html code in that file. Remove those.

Re: pacman -S question

error: failed retrieving file 'gcc-4.5.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from mirrors.kernel.org : Not Found

gcc is at version 4.6.1-1 atm, so please grab a fresh mirrrolist and try again
http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

First, you need to update your system with 'pacman -Syu', only then you can safely install new packages.

Re: pacman -S question

You could try this mirrorlist updater:

http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

Also remember that you need to uncomment the mirrors you want to use.

Re: pacman -S question

I managed to sync and update pacman to a newer version. After i did pacman-db-upgrade and tried installing gcc i got this:

Re: pacman -S question

You will need to go to a live CD and rescue...  You have not updated your system and now have installed packages that are not compatible with the (very) old stuff you have installed.

NEVER "pacman -Sy" followed by "pacman -S pkg".   NEVER!    Always do a complete update and not just update the databases.
