[Arch ARM] error: failed to init transaction (download libr.

Postby ktz » Thu May 29, 2014 10:33 am

Hello,

I have installed Arch ARM on my Raspberry. I was able to update, install software, everything was ok. Now, though, it stopped working out of the blue.
When running a "# pacman -Syu", every mirror it tries to contact, returns 404. I did generate a new mirror list and tried with different mirrors, it's always 404.
More interestingly, I CAN actually contact those servers:

error: failed retrieving file 'aur.db' from mirrors.mithril.org.ua : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

$ sudo ping mirrors.mithril.org.ua
PING mirrors.mithril.org.ua (89.184.66.156) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from aldebaran.vs.mithril.org.ua (89.184.66.156): icmp_seq=1 ttl=51 time=61.6 ms
64 bytes from aldebaran.vs.mithril.org.ua (89.184.66.156): icmp_seq=2 ttl=51 time=61.1 ms
64 bytes from aldebaran.vs.mithril.org.ua (89.184.66.156): icmp_seq=3 ttl=51 time=61.5 ms

I know there are a lot of threads like this open, but they're all solved by "# pacman -Syy", which is not my case. When attempting that, I guess the same thing I get when using "-Syu":

[...]
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from ftp.uni-bayreuth.de : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from ftp.uni-kl.de : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirrors.mithril.org.ua : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

[...]

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Try a different mirror, or Syy again.

You successfully replaced our mirrors with x86 Arch Linux mirrors. Just reinstall, who knows what else you screwed up.
