Hi all,
I have reason to believe a package I use (python-polib) was moved from the aur to the official extra repo. I’m now having trouble getting it installed.
The old page gives a 404: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-polib This now seems to be the right source for this package: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-polib/
However, I do a and pacman can’t find the target. Do I need to do something here that I’m missing?
My pacman.conf includes the “extra” repo and it updates during the Syyu command.
this is very, very strange behavior you’re seeing then.
I have the following in my /etc/pacman.conf
[core]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[extra]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Does yours look like that?
and for mirror list, I have the following mirrors:
Server = https://mirror.stephanie.is/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://nocix.mm.fcix.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://ohioix.mm.fcix.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mnvoip.mm.fcix.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://arch.mirror.ivo.st/$repo/os/$arch
these settings yield me the python library just fine
Edit: the multilib repo is optional in the pacman.conf, as the package you want is in the extra repo.
okay i got it now.
was something wrong with the mirror i was using? if so, is there some way to know if i have a “lesser” mirror? or was the arch linux world just going thru a major update today and i had to wait it out?
My only gut ‘guess’ is that your original mirror was out of date, then you happened to switch to one mid sync potentially.
so… i did another reflector refresh and then did an Syyu. Now this is happening…
this is with the mirrorlist shown in the picture below. not sure why i’d be getting almost 3 gigs of updates right now. i’ve been updating this and using this machine daily for months on this installation. when that is complete i’ll try for python-polib again.
about 15 ruby packages got replaced with extra/ruby just now too.
