Main repos seem unstable

For the past few days, the package lists get refreshed everytime I do pacman -Syu. They also constantly change official versions of many packages, causing pacman to complain about local packages being newer than those in the artix repos.

Code: [Select]
$ su -c "pacman -Syu"

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

I don't really know what logs I should be providing, so please tell me if there is more info I can provide (or look at to figure out the problem myself).

I suspect with the recent addition to a new primary repo. things may take a little while to adjust.  It may be that since a mirror was used as primary the main is now rsyncing from the mirror.  Be patient and it will stabilize again, it is like huge tanks of molasses that you have turned the valves on  :)

I made a mistake 2 days ago and thought I was downloading an init system called runit, only it was a fake called "ruinit" and I am considered ruined in this old age!
