[arch-general] error installing package that relies on soprano (k9copy)
When I try to install k9copy, I receive the following error message: :: Retrieving packages from extra... error: failed retrieving file 'soprano-2.7.5-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from ftp.archlinux.org : Given file does not exist 1. Is this a packaging error of some kind (presumably in the k9copy package)? 2. Is there something I can do to allow me to avoid this problem and install k9copy?

It means that you need to `pacman -Syu`, because the soprano package has been upgraded to 2.7.6, hence the 2.7.5 is not on the server anymore, so you need to update your package database, and your system.

Never mind, it looks like it was a temporary failure while the mirror was updating or something and things were temporarily out of sync. Doc -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
Also you should not use ftp.archlinux.org mirror. It has 50Kb/s caps and all.
