this is what i get File not found If you encounter errors trying to install an application, such as, "*error: failed retrieving file 'foobar.pkg.tar.xz' from extra: Not Found*", this invariably means one of two things: either your local database is out-of-date and needs to be resynced with a '*pacman -Syyu*', or your mirror is out of date and you need to choose one that is up-to-date. ok what i did is i deleted the mirrorlist and was trying to download a new one and i can't download it at the time i didn't know you can do that my next question is how can i do it in ROOT thank you On Wed, Jul 28, 2021 at 7:58 AM Kristian Klausen via arch-mirrors < arch-mirrors@lists.archlinux.org> wrote:

Hi Anthony

It is hard to tell what the issue is with so few details. I would recommend asking for help on IRC[1] or the forum[2].
