Linux noob here. Every time i try to -Syu i get this error:
error: failed retrieving file 'archlinuxfr.db' from repo.archlinux.fr§ : The requested URL returned error: 404
error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)
archlinux.fr is a dead mirror but i dont even have it in my pacman.d mirrorlist file. How do i stop pacman trying to update it? How do i find the packages that are installed from that mirror?
> i dont even have it in my pacman.d mirrorlist file.
Check again. Also there is probably mirror list.pacnew nearby - use it.
easy fix while people reply:
open /etc/hosts
add a new line and route archlinux.fr to archlinux.com or any other mirror you want
archlinux.fr archlinux.com
try generating a new mirrorlist manually from here
https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/
I did but it still get the same error. Do i need to do anything else other than just rewriting that mirrorlist file?
No that should do it, maybe try a different country just for testing. But also do what
said
post the contents of pacman.d
Debian doesn't have this problem. Use Debian instead of some hobbyist distro.
A thread died for this. Use /sqt/ next time.
shh tech support threads are fun
post cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
install gentoo
