[arch-general] Mirrors not synchronized or a problem with the package database?

Is there a problem with the mirrors and their synchronization or with the package database? Since a while pacman tells me that my package databases for all repos are up-to-date. The latest version of linux in those databases is linux 3.3.6-1 while the latest version in [core] should be 3.3.7-1 according to the online package database at https://www.archlinux.org/packages and the ABS. This happens with every mirror in my mirrorlist. According to the mirror status at https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ they are all up-to-date and 100% complete. Of course, I already did a pacman -Syy, but this didn't help. Heiko

Hi Heiko, I discovered the same problem for German mirrors. Finally, I got my kernel 3.3.7 from Server = http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Kind regards, Max -- Mach das Beste aus dir, etwas Besseres kannst du nicht tun.

It's not only the German mirrors, it's at least one French mirror, too.

Server = http://mirror.archlinux.no/$repo/os/$arch seems to work, too. Heiko

Hi, I've experienced the same problems. I was able to solve the problem by forcing database-updates with 'pacman -Syy'. Regards, Patrick On Fri, May 25, 2012 at 10:44 AM, Heiko Baums wrote:

mirror.bytemark.co.uk has the 3.3.6 package too from the 13th I think. Newest package I saw very quickly so take with a grain of salt was from the 21st. I'd work down from the root servers to check this out. Anyone have or is there a chain description or hierarchy of mirrors on the website?.

I had the same problem. I think the problem is with ftp mirrors. Try one http and see how it goes. At least, one I tried solved this problem.

I forgot to mention this, I admit, but I only use http mirrors. Heiko

I also had this problem with the Spanish Rediris, and it is an HTTP mirror. I've changed to another one with a higher score and I got the updates.

Do you mean mir.archlinux.fr?

Our uk2.net mirror has some problems. For this reason we have added a new tier 1 mirror (hosted by LeaseWeb). The mirrors that sync of uk2[1] will hopefully soon switch to LeaseWeb or any other up-to-date tier 1 mirror. In addition I can report that our gwdg.de mirror is also having filesystem issues. This will hopefully be resolved soon.

Syncing Demand probably explains why UK2 was sometimes slow late at night (early morning).

Unfortunately I use none of those mirrors. So uk2.net couldn't be the reason.

uk2.net is used as tier 1 for those servers. you should really believe Jakob, he knows what he's talking about.

...

Currently this is my mirrorlist:

Server = http://mir.archlinux.fr/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://archlinux.limun.org/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://ftp.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/mirrors/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://mirror.archlinux.no/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

If I recall correctly syncing failed at least from these mirrors, probably from some more:

Server = http://mir.archlinux.fr/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

This mirror worked: Server = http://mirror.archlinux.no/$repo/os/$arch

gwdg.de is upstream for some of the mirrors in your mirrorlist, and it had problems. I've been in contact with an admin earlier this day and it seems the problems have been resolved. The third in your mirrorlist (archlinux.limun.org) should work though. Best regards, Jakob

OK, good to know. Thanks. Heiko
