No I didn't but user in the other thread says he had to change mirrorlist to the list in his already installed Artix.
So what's doing on? Mirrorlist changes and installer does not know about change??

I'm with you on that It should not happen It should not need a mirror update but it should not happen in the future once the ISO gets updated as they will not be included.
These are just teething problems setting up a new distro so we need to bear with it for a while

Can you show us what your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist looks like?
This is mine /etc/pacman.d /mirrorlist I have no other mirrors in their now
# Artix mirrors

Server = http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://artix.wheaton.edu/repos/$repo/os/$arch/

I can't, but it has 26 entries as opposed to five shown by other users (mandog) and another
This is on installer iso.

Those entries are sourceforge no longer valid read the news flash on the forum header. The updated list is a update tonight.
 We don't use Sourceforge for mirroring our repositories anymore. If your mirrorlist shows SF mirrors on top, you need to update artix-mirrorlist from [system-testing] and merge /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew into /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.

Did you try sudo -E calarares -d it seems to do some magic also says what failed if that happens.

Quote from: 7of9 – on
Yes I did, No help.
Another user reported this in another thread.

https://artixlinux.org/forum/index.php?topic=155.0

So why is this happening again?

Of course it won't work as sudo -E calarares -d are only used for debugging purposes

@7of9 please run sudo -E calarares -d in terminal, reproduce the issue , and paste the output here or any paste hosting site and link it to here. That way we can figure it out "why is this happening again?"
If I can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

Just manually delete the rest and leave the top five and you are OK to update.
Thanks to @thefallenrat 's advise I reordered a set of arch rep's from just the surrounding net-area and shorten that list and it all my time limit error hits vanished.  The weird thing is that when an initial ordered list was produced among the total list the top ones came from 2 continents away!  So I have no idea what the criteria for ranking of the mirrors is in reflector.  The options and their outcome seems very counter-intuitive.

if mirrorlist changes there should be new iso. No?

As long as the top mirrors, by artix, work and you can run an update the update will take care of the replacement of the mirrorlist anyway.  The reason there are multiple mirrors on a list is so you can still install and update even when occasionally a mirror is failing.
The problem would be with the original iso from August which had none of the artix mirrors and eventually the sourceforge mirrors will have no artix files in them.  Those users using that iso would have to go online and replace the mirrorlist manually.

Remember this is a rolling distribution, meaning that for the same exact list of installed pkgs, both a current installation with an original iso and with the latest one produces the same exact installation.

I haven't had this stupid Boost.Python error in job "machineid" issue with any of the older isos, anyone know where I can find them?
