pacman not finding files

anirudh215 · 2011-08-18 13:52:12

I've just tried installing acroread using yaourt. It stopped midway and told me it couldn't find lib32-mesa. I found that it existed in the multilib repo. When I try installing it using pacman, I get an error stating that the file was not found. What is the problem? I have updated my mirrors and -Syy'ed and still I get the same error.

After -Syy, does the package even show up when you 'pacman -Ss' for it?

Did you enable the [multilib] repo?

All good tips. Also make sure your mirrors are up to date. Best tool is reflector.

Do a

reflector -l 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

followed by a

pacman -Syy

Does the multilib repo get synchronised? If not, recheck your pacman.conf

Please post your pacman.conf.
