Blender not installing via AUR due to missing dependencies

Hello fellow Artix users.
I am a newbie, and I am having an issue with installing Blender via the AUR.
Whether I try to manually install it via Git or use yay, it still has the same problem.
Code: [Select]
 -> No AUR package found for opencollada
 -> No AUR package found for opensubdiv
 -> could not find all required packages: opencollada
could not find all required packages: opensubdiv
How do I fix this issue?

When I tried to add the extras repo, when I tried to (re)install a program, it gave me this output:
Code: [Select]
warning: database file for 'extra' does not exist (use '-Sy' to download)
warning: vim-9.0.2143-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not find database)
What am I doing wrong, exactly?

Have you tried using -Sy to download the database file?

When I attempt to do that, I get an error that states
Code: [Select]
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)

I think there is some misconfiguration. Did you install artix-archlinux-support as explained in wiki? Show us your pacman.conf.

1. I did in fact install artix-archlinux-support.
2. This is my pacman configfile:
Code: [Select]
#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
#GPGDir      = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
#HookDir     = /etc/pacman.d/hooks/
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -L -C - -f -o %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
Architecture = auto

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg   =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade   =
#NoExtract   =

# Misc options
#UseSyslog
#Color
#NoProgressBar
CheckSpace
#VerbosePkgLists
#ParallelDownloads = 5

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Artix Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate artix`.

#
# 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 gremlins 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.

#[system-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[system]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[world-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[world]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[galaxy-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[galaxy]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist


# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the lib32 repositories as required here.

#[lib32-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[lib32]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

*I had to add the [extras] part manually, but removed it to make pacman usable again.

You'll need this section in pacman.conf:
Code: [Select]
[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

You'll need that file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch, which provides by archlinux-mirrorlist, which is dependancy of artix-archlinux-support.

In that file you'll need at least one uncommented working server section. i.e.:
Code: [Select]
## Worldwide
Server = https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/$repo/os/$arch

If you have all this and still get "no servers configured for repository" error - I'm out of ideas, sorry.
