[solved ][postgresql] install problem

[greenfly]

Hi,

just tried to install postgresql as a requirement for DAViCal.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
sudo pacman -S postgresql
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (2): postgresql-libs-9.1.2-1 postgresql-9.1.2-1

Total Download Size: 0.57 MiB
Total Installed Size: 26.63 MiB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y

')

My connection seems fine, I'm able to ping mirror.archlinuxarm.org, and I can find the package via webbrowser.
What could be the problem here?

I fixed it by using another mirror, now other repositories are not working. Switching between mirrors is helping somehow...
strange.
Maybe I need to increase the timeout?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sudo pacman -Syu')
I often have similar problems, and an upgrade fixes it

This sometimes happens during large rebuilds.

Okai, with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sudo pacman -Syu')
it seems to be okay now
Thank you!

With the introduction of the new US mirror that is added in DNS round-robin with our main server, a desync issue happens when we run the package updates for the day as your pacman bounces between two versions of the repo depending on which DNS record it picks up. I'm working on a way to fix this.

Until then, if you run into that kind of problem, just wait a bit or you can switch to a specific mirror.
