error: target not found: certbot

Since yesterday, I am not able to install certbot.


Code: [Select]
$ sudo pacman -Syuyuy certbot
:: Synchronizing package databases...

error: target not found: certbot


I am pretty sure I was able to do that before. I even have the old packages in the cache (ie `/var/cache/pacman/pkg/`).

Code: [Select]
$ ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg |  grep certbot
certbot-1.15.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
certbot-1.16.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
certbot-nginx-1.15.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
certbot-nginx-1.16.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

I am also pretty sure I didn't uninstall it. I'm not sure why it got removed.

EDIT: It seems that the package is still installed. Because when I run `sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/certbot-1.16.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst` it reinstalls it.

Code: [Select]
$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/certbot-1.16.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

But it still doesn't work properly.

$ sudo certbot renew

certbot is a package from community, which is an Arch repository, not an Artix repository.

There is no Artix package for certbot. You can check yourself on https://gitea.artixlinux.org.

Edit: You need to activate Arch repositories in order to install packages from them.

Arch repositories are not activated by default. There was a news item when that was made official. You should check Artix news from time to time to always stay up to date on recent development.

I see, thanks a lot :)
