[arch-general] ImageMagick package missing from repos
Trying to install ImageMagick from the Arch repos, but I am constantly getting a 404 not found error "pacman -Ss imagemagick" returns extra/imagemagick 6.8.9.5-1 An image viewing/manipulation program But "pacman -S imagemagick" throws the following error error: failed retrieving file 'imagemagick-6.8.9.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from ftp.iitm.ac.in : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found I tried several mirrors and all are giving the same error

Your database is probably out of date. Try: # pacman -Syy and try again. Paul

No, do not do -Syy, do -Syu or -Syyu. -Syy just leads to problems. Doug

It *just* leads to problems? Mmm; it *may* lead to problems, yes. Experience of what happens in practice tells me that it will almost certainly be fine and will avoid a potentially long and unwanted system update in the middle of work. But yes, technically, it's better to do -Syu so that you're not potentially installing a package that was built against another package that you have have an out-of-date version of, possibly leading to the new package segfaulting or failing to launch.

If you do it habitually, yes, you WILL run into problems eventually.
"pcaman -Syu" solved the problem On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 8:14 PM, Doug Newgard <scimmia@archlinux.info> wrote:
