Pacman Update Fail [SOLVED]

Postby MotoTom » Thu Mar 07, 2013 10:23 pm

Yesterday I updated my ALARM system after being out of the office for 2 weeks. One of the items being updated was Pacman. After a bit of research on the entropy issue with pacman-key --init, I got it to complete using haveged.

Today, just to make sure everything is working I did the pacman -Syu thing again. and I'm unable to update.

Here's the results:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@TRB-PP tomb]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
error: failed to update core (download library error)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
error: failed to update extra (download library error)
error: failed retrieving file 'community.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
error: failed to update community (download library error)

error: failed to update alarm (download library error)
error: failed retrieving file 'aur.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
error: failed to update aur (download library error)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
error: failed to init transaction (download library error)
[root@TRB-PP tomb]#
')

TIA for any suggestions. I do have a recent backup so it's not a big deal to revert but I need to know what to do going forward so I can keep the Pogoplug current.

That is just a broken mirror server. Just do the pacman again. You don't even need to wait. You will most likely get a different server the next try. And if it fails again, try again. Nothing wrong with your pogo so nothing to revert.

Thanks so much.

It worked as you said it would.

Back to sleep now.

Love how reliable this setup is. :)
