Hi Justin,

Indeed that worked pacman --sync --refresh nodejs

Thank you! ~Zero

You need to read the whole message, specifically where they said not to actually do that. You need to update your entire system.

Please use `pacman --sync --refresh` (or `pacman -Sy`). Your local package database is out of date, you are trying to download the old 19.0.0-1 (which gives 404) instead of the new 19.0.0-2.

Also, partial updates are not supported. You should always run `pacman --sync --refresh --sysupgrade` (or `pacman -Syu`).

Hi all,

Trying to install nodejs with pacman I do experience errors:

pacman --sync nodejs

Packages (1) nodejs-19.0.0-1 ...

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] Y

:: Retrieving packages... nodejs-19.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst failed to downloaderror: failed retrieving file 'nodejs-19.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com : The requested URL returned error: 404

When accessing https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/archlinux with a browser I can download the files nodejs-19.0.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst  and nodejs-19.0.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig.

But when accessing https://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux with a browser it gives a http error 503 or after a long wait the packages show up.

Is there a problem with the pacman mirrors ?
