So I tried to install base-devel on my slice today so I could build a package:
$ pacS base-devel Password: base-devel package not found, searching for group... :: group base-devel (including ignored packages): autoconf automake bin86 bison ed fakeroot flex gcc libtool m4 make patch pkgconfig :: Install whole content? [Y/n] y warning: autoconf-2.63-1 is up to date -- reinstalling warning: bison-2.4.1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling :: gcc is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway? [Y/n] n gcc package not found, searching for group... error: 'gcc': not found in sync db
I said no to GCC becuase I have most of the toolchain/libc held back because the Xen kernel running there is older. However, I already have GCC installed, but it still caused the group install to fail.

Did you try with pacman-git? This should be fixed, see FS#12059. Bye ------------------------------------------------------ SZTE Egyetemi Konyvtar - http://www.bibl.u-szeged.hu This message was sent using IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
