can`t install some packages (mirrors returning 404)

I`m trying to install dlang but pacman is failing with:

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

it is also happening with some other packages. I already tried to change my mirrors to the closest with the command:

Code: [Select]
reflector --sort rate --protocol https --fastest 50 --number 100 --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

but the problem persists. How to solve this situation? Thanks in advance

I`ve just noticed that seems that no mirror is working anymore but I`m connected to the internet (otherwise I wouldn`t be here lol)

Forget about my last post, it happened because reflector messed up with my mirrorlist file, I`ve updated it back as it is here and now it is working. However I still can`t find these packages on the mirrors and I found out why. Running pacman with --debug I saw that it is requesting the file:

http://mirrors.evowise.com/archlinux/community/os/x86_64/liblphobos-2:1.14.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

which is obviously not present there, hence the 404, it has however the liblphobos-2:1.14.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz file so for some reason pacman is searching for a different version of the file. What is the best way to solve this

it is also happening with some other packages. I already tried to change my mirrors to the closest with the command:

Somehow you have end up with arch mirrors, possibly arch pacman as well.
Your /etc/pacman.conf should have the following repositories :
system  -->mirrorlist
world  -->mirrorlist
galaxy   -->mirrorlist
extra ==> mirrorlist-arch
community ==> mirrorlist-arch

example:
Code: [Select]
[world]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
.
.
[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

Rename the mirrorlist you have shown to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
create a /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with the following content:

Code: [Select]
# Artix mirrors

Server = http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/artix-linux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://artix.wheaton.edu/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirror.clarkson.edu/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/artixlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://artix.unixpeople.org/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://artix.rw-net.de/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/artixlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://www.nylxs.com/mirror/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/artix-linux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirrors.nettek.us/artix-linux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/$repo/os/$arch

then pacman -Syyu

Code: [Select]
# pacman -Ss libphobos
community/liblphobos 2:1.14.0-2 (dlang dlang-ldc)
    A D Compiler based on the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure including D runtime and libphobos2

Thanks, that solved the problem

Actually, the same problem happening again. Btw I`ve enabled multilib to use some 32bits libs I`ll need for steam and other programs. Now it is faling at this package:

error: failed retrieving file 'lib32-util-linux-2.33-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from mirrors.evowise.com : The requested URL returned error: 404
debug: url: http://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/multilib/os/x86_64/lib32-util-linux-2.33-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Whereas the current package there is lib32-util-linux-2.33.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

for 32bit  you have to enable the artix repositories lib32   -->  mirrorlist
and multilib (the arch repository for 32b) --> mirrorlist-arch

:)
So go back to /etc/pacman.conf and correct them
