[SOLVED] universe repository problem

27 December 2021, 15:03:04

I added [universe] repo to the end of my pacman.conf as follow:

[universe]
Server = https://mirror1.artixlinux.org/universe/$arch
Server = https://universe.artixlinux.org/$arch
Server = https://mirror.pascalpuffke.de/artix-universe/$arch

I used it to install barve-bin and freetube-bin. Today, universe repo stop showing in search results e.g pacman -Ss brave returns nothing. Same thing with paclist universe.

My problem is the some as here

I tried to remove and re-add the repos, and removed pacman keys and init them again, but without success.

Any help is very appreciated.S

I am having the same issue.....it seem the universe.db has only 2 software packages. The universe.db.tar seems to contain all software though.

Best regards.

Hmm. That's interesting. I don't see brave-bin with pacman too, though it's present on the mirrtors. For example:

https://mirror1.artixlinux.org/universe/x86_64/brave-bin-1%3A1.32.113-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
https://mirror1.artixlinux.org/universe/x86_64/brave-bin-1%3A1.32.113-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig

A workaround could be to brutally delete local pacman's sync databases and rebuild them from scratch. pacman finds brave-bin again after that:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/*

Code: [Select]

$ sudo pacman -Syu

The issue has been resolved. Many thanks to the developer....@Artist I think.

Best regards.
