This is the second time I'm being stupid when modifying my mirrorlist and I by accident put in a i686 repo on a 64-bit machine. I can report that running 32-bit sudo on a 64-bit machine is fraught with problems :-)

So, just to work around my stupidity I was wondering if it is possible to put something like $arch in the mirrorlist, so I can stop writing out i686/x86_64? That would at least take care of this problem for the system repos.

Not yet. here will be in pacman-3.4: http://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=65c1f06b
