Hi pepedog,

Thanks for reaching out. I did try pacman -Syy with the same results...

error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : Connection time-out

Same for ca, us and va servers; then it goes on to update extra, community, alarm and aur normally.

Thanks again.

Have you tried using your browser to diagnose the problem?

http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/arm/ should get you the dir listing for the dir containing alarm, aur, community, core, extra, and sync.

http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/arm/core/ should get you the dir listing for core with all the core packages and core.db. See if you can download core.db or core.db.tar.gz with your browser. This might show up some connection problem.

Otherwise, it might be that you have somehow gotten your /etc/pacman.conf or /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist files damaged. Why not post them here for others to inspect?

For what it is worth; I am still around and still cannot get the core db to update. i'm not actually still in front of putty, I switched to messing with my archlinux system, but I never did overcome the core db update issue on my pogoplug pro.

I'm going to get me one of them thar cuboxae, see what kind of trouble I can get in to there.
