mirror list chaos

Nothing seems to be functioning in the various areas of advice and instructions at this point, and the threads are talking past each other and instructions are incomplete and out of order.

Dealing first with the file:
 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

I changed this list to the entries from the web application at  https://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

this resulted in a list being prodcued, all commented out #

I copy and pasted into
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

and uncommented a few of the top choices

then ran this command as instructed in another thread

 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
error: database not found: system-testing

So three problems!!
  • First:   line 7: directive 'Server' in section 'options' not recognized

    for format of the config file is entirely broken

  • Secondly:
    error: failed retrieving file 'system.db' from mirrors.acm.wpi.edu : The requested URL returned error: 404

    the URLs are apparently broken.

  • Thirdly: error: database not found: system-testing

    I'm not even sure of the nature of this problem.  This is supposed to be part of the move of the mirror lists off of sourceforge.

Try downloading artix-mirrorlist: http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/system-testing/os/x86_64/artix-mirrorlist-20170916-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

Then install from saved location: sudo pacman -U artix-mirrorlist-20170916-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

After which do a sync and update: sudo pacman -Syyu

Your Arch mirrors seem to be working ok...they are used at present for "extra" and "community" only.
Hope this helps.

Edit: For this you DO NOT need to have "system-testing" enabled.

--Best regards.
We should try to be kind to everyone.....we are all fighting some sort of battle.

Try downloading artix-mirrorlist: http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/system-testing/os/x86_64/artix-mirrorlist-20170916-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

Then install from saved location: sudo pacman -U artix-mirrorlist-20170916-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

After which do a sync and update: sudo pacman -Syyu

Thanks for this conky :) this is the sort of solution I was looking for as the official instructions didn't do anything for me.

Re: mirror list chaos

It has changed twice since then, but if you do $ pacman -Syyu after what you have above from Conky, you will automatically be replacing it.  Also if some mirror returns an error, it is just that, a mirror being temporarily out of order.
Everytime a replacement of mirrorlist took place I never saw a ...list.pacnew, it was automatically replaced.  Sometimes developers forget they automate procedures for everyone else but themselves, I think!  ;)

Yes, the artix mirrorlist. The latest version from system-testing is "artix-mirrorlist-20170923-1".

Best regards.
We should try to be kind to everyone.....we are all fighting some sort of battle.

Re: mirror list chaos

The file "/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist" is supposd to be the Artix mirrolist. You messed up when you replaced it with the Arch mirrorlist, which was supposed to go at "/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch".

Your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist is the Artix mirrors' list.  System, world, galaxy, are artix mirrors, extras community are Arch mirrors.

Somehow you had the arch mirrorlist (/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch) as an Artix mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, that's all.
If you just copy the mirrorlists I placed above with the proper file names /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist & /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch then update/upgrade you'll be good to go. 

Are you saying for 2weeks you have not been able to get any updates?

I didn't say I got an error (currently). I fixed this about 2 weeks ago thanks to the input in this thread.

I'm just saying I didn't understand what he said that I did wrong.
