Hello,
i have a fresh install of Artix(xfce).
I am trying to install libguestfs.
pacman -Ss libguestfs
returns only the version present in the community repositories.
community/libguestfs 1.46.0-2
Access and modify virtual machine disk images
This version does not install due to systemd dependency issues.
So i looked around and found out that in the galaxy repo there should be a systemd-less version of this package.
The following artix mirror has the package i want to install :
https://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/galaxy/os/x86_64/
libguestfs-1.46.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst 11-Oct-2021 14:55 4259438
https://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/galaxy/os/x86_64/libguestfs-1.46.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
I then removed the arch repo from my pacman.conf, sync'd.
No package found at all then.
Then i outcommented the other mirrors, sync'd.
Still no package found.
I checked that pacman finds current packages from the galaxy repo, and it does find them :
$pacman -Ss bctool
galaxy/bctoolbox 5.0.58-1

Same result.
In that case pacman -Ss libguestfs
doesn't find anything.
I tried the various sync commands :
pacman -Syyu
pacman -Syuu
I tried removing the sync'd db's.
sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/*
And then re-sync, but i got the same result.
The only errors i get are missing optional *.sig files for the database, that are not found on the server and then not found on the file system, but these do not seem to explain this behavior.

I am now quite confused on what could cause pacman not to find the package that is in the repo.
Thanks in advance.
