99% chance this is a rudimentary question and I just missed a detail somewhere.
"minetest" in the community repo is at 5.2.0-1, but when I go to load "minetest", only 5.1.1 is offered. (see attachment)
I loaded the latest Artix on a flashdrive and it also provided 5.1.1-2 instead of 5.2.0-1
I have community enabled in pacman.conf and I run pacman -Syu nearly daily.
So what am I missing about what the package website reports and what I'm seeing from pacman?
Many thanks for the insights.
Sounds like your mirrors are outdated. Double check them. There's a high chance you have a /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew file or something like that lying around that you should probably replace your current mirrorlist file with.
As Dudemanguy mentioned, check your mirrolist against pacnew file.
The right location for Arch mirrorlist is:รค
//etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
Dudemanguy and SGOrava
That was exactly the issue, thank you.
I looked through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Pacnew_and_Pacsave afterward just to see what other details I may have missed.
Guessing pacman alerted me to the new files and I didn't read it, or misinterpreted what it was trying to tell me (I would have presumed it updated to the new version but kept the old one - but I can see how that would not be preferred by a system admin).
On the plus side, there is something kind of nice about having nearly 2 gigs of updates to apply at once :)
