Any ideas?
If 'pacman -Syyu' doesn't work, then try changing the mirror.

While I go on trying, could you please post your working mirror-list? That would be some good sample to start with. Thanks -- Shridhar

I tried to look this up but didn't find any info on this: Does the $repo variable work at all, when used in pacman.conf itself, or does it only work in a mirrorlist? So maybe replacing "$repo" with the corresponding repo name would work - or use the include and place your preferred mirror (with the $repo variable) as the first position in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.

It works in any "Server =" line. -Dan
