failed retrieving file xapp from any mirror

Hello,

When attempting to update my system today using:
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Syyu
, I get t he following error:

Code: [Select]
error: failed retrieving file 'xapp-2.8.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst from'
followed a mirror, followed by:
Code: [Select]
Maximum file size exceeded
for each and every mirror.

My mirror list has not been altered by me, and is consistent with what is shown: https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packages/artix-mirrorlist/src/branch/master/mirrorlist

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I noticed when I search xapp on the artix linux package search, two different packages are listed. One in 'world' and one in 'galaxy', which seemed odd to me: Screenshot_2024-07-08_15-23-12.png

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

sudo pacman -S galaxy/xapp

Thank you, that worked. Do you mind explaining to me why it worked?

So I understand I explicitly installed the xapp from the 'galaxy' repo with
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -S galaxy/xapp
,

but I don't quite understand why this fixed the issue. Apologies if this is something fundamental that I should know. If I understand correctly, -Syyu updates mirrors before syncing with the repositories and then updating installed packages, so I would have thought it would have retrieved the galaxy/xapp on its own.

It is listed in world and galaxy, but only galaxy works, and world has priority.

xapp was removed from world yesterday - does any mirror not reflect this yet?

The mirrors work as intended.

Rather, it should be asked why such inconveniences arise.
