[SOLVED] ]Problem with running pacman

Hello,

I have problem with running pacman, when I do -Syyu -U -Q -S anything I get it error like this:

error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch could not be read: No such file or directory

I have mirrorlist in pacman.d folder and it's content is:

Do you have the archlinux-mirrorlist package installed, it provides the missing file?
system/archlinux-mirrorlist
In pacman.conf you have some repos from Arch enabled which require this, for example:
[testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

You also have testing & gremlins repos enabled which is fine if you need or want that, but you may encounter fewer potential issues using the stable repos.

Oh yes, and read that thread as Artoo says you might need a new package installed now if you use Arch repos:
artix-archlinux-support

Doing
Code: [Select]
sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
gives me
Code: [Select]
mv: cannot stat '/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew': No such file or directory

I don't have installed archlinux-mirrorlist package. I tried adding testing and when I do sudo pacman -Sy I get too much errors for extra, community, chaotic-aur and testing

I'm still a noob, how can I install artix-archlinux-support package without makepkg -sri or pacman -S?

I think all you need to do is edit /etc/pacman.conf and #comment out the Arch Linux and chaotic aur repos temporarily, then install the missing packages, and uncomment those entries again. I just tried that and it didn't cause any issues, possibly you will get some warnings but it should function to allow you to install Artix repo packages normally. Try to avoid installing more than is required and doing Syu until you have fixed this, in case you get version issues, ie a package from extra or community might not work if it depends on other packages you updated from Artix although you could still potentially downgrade then.
It's also possible to download packages in your browser and install with pacman -U, but it sounds like that option isn't working for you either.

1. download https://archive.artixlinux.org/packages/a/archlinux-mirrorlist/archlinux-mirrorlist-20200920-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
and install with
Code: [Select]
pacman -U archlinux-mirrorlist-20200920-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

'chaotic-aur.db' 'community.db' 'extra.db' exist in eu-mirror.artixlinux.org  really NOT! Why? they are no artix's repos, so

2. read WIKI !!! https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Stable and modify your pacman.conf , that artixlinux packages retrieve his packages from mirrorlist and archlinux's packages retrieve his packages from mirrorlist-arch

Note: testing? why you have enabled testing? as noob you should use stable repos only!

chaotic-aur.db have HIS OWN address, from which he recieve package. artixlinux's mirrorlist NOR archlinux's mirrorlist-arch!

Do you understand, what you should do?

Thanks that solved the problem, also updating arch mirror list helped.

I wasn't really using chaotic-aur and testing just read and tried some other solutions if they work from forum but did not.
