[arch-general] pacman error: config file ../mirrorlist, line 193: directive 'Server' not recognized
Listmates, I did a fresh install of 2009.08 on a new box and I am getting a weird pacman error where pacman doesn't recognize the first "Server" statement in mirrorlist. (2009.08 installed perfectly) All 3 of my other arch boxes work fine with the mirrorlist file and do not give the error. I have even copied the mirrorlist from one of my other boxes to the new box and the error still occurs. Even though I get the error, pacman works just fine. The error is: error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, line 193: directive 'Server' not recognized Line 193 is just the first sever in mirrorlist: 192 # United States 193 Server = http://mirrors.gigenet.com/archlinux/$repo/os/i686 194 Server = http://archlinux.unixheads.org/$repo/os/i686 Any ideas?

Line 193 is just the first sever in mirrorlist:

Any ideas?

I have a feeling you uncommented something (testing?) in /etc/pacman.conf, but didn't uncomment the header for the repo: #[testing] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist This is wrong. The [testing] needs to be uncommented too

I have a feeling you are RIGHT -- as usual ;-) Thanks! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com

This is an amazingly common error, for some reason. I think that if a person is not used to ini-style config files, they don't recognize the [foo] as a section header
