Hi all,
I have reason to believe a package I use (python-polib) was moved from the aur to the official extra repo. I’m now having trouble getting it installed.
The old page gives a 404: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-polib This now seems to be the right source for this package: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-polib/
However, I do a # pacman -Syyu python-polib and pacman can’t find the target. Do I need to do something here that I’m missing?
My pacman.conf includes the “extra” repo and it updates during the Syyu command.
absolutely. i’ve tried this on two x86 systems as well, my desktop and laptop. if there’s no quick fix or obvious problem, i’m not above doing a full reinstall to fix this.
i’ll spin up a vm to test too
I suppose you could also clean out cached packages with
pacman -Sccand then delete the package database files in/var/lib/pacman/syncso that you know for a fact that you are getting a fresh sync and it not depending on anything cached.but the package is certainly there, are you able to directly download it from https://arch.mirror.constant.com/extra/os/x86_64/python-polib-1.2.0-2-any.pkg.tar.zst from a browser so we can rule out any weird dns fuckiness?
