Just recently did: sudo pacmatic -Syuv and got: :: Synchronizing package databases... error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from arch.localmsp.org : Connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds core is up to date error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from arch.localmsp.org : Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds extra is up to date error: failed retrieving file 'community.db' from arch.localmsp.org : Connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds community is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...

[Y/n] n So, I chose NO, then per the wiki I updated the mirrorlist, and once the mirrorlist wsa updated, I did: sudo pacmatic -Syyuv and got: Root : / Conf File : /etc/pacman.conf DB Path : /var/lib/pacman/ Cache Dirs: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ Lock File : /var/lib/pacman/db.lck Log File : /var/log/pacman.log GPG Dir : /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ Targets : None :: Synchronizing package databases... core 121.4 KiB 1167K/s 00:00 [##################################] 100% extra 1800.4 KiB 4.00M/s 00:00 [##################################] 100% community 2.6 MiB 4.41M/s 00:01 [##################################] 100% :: Starting full system upgrade... warning: gdm: local (3.16.1.1-1) is newer than extra (3.16.1-3) warning: libgdm: local (3.16.1.1-1) is newer than extra (3.16.1-3) there is nothing to do Huh? why: warning: gdm: local (3.16.1.1-1) is newer than extra (3.16.1-3) warning: libgdm: local (3.16.1.1-1) is newer than extra (3.16.1-3) I again did: sudo pacmatic -Syyuv and got the same exact result. Note that at the time this is posted, archlinux.org does not seem to show gdm 3.16.1-3 or libgdm 3.16.1-3, just gdm 3.16.1.1-1 and libgdm 3.16.1.1-1 So, what to do?
