On both my Arch boxes I get error messages from the archlinuxgus repo. Like indicated in "http://archlinuxgis.github.com/repos.html" I added the repository
"http://archlinuxgis.no-ip.org
/$arch" to the /etc/pacman.conf file. After a "pacman -Syu" I get these error messages:

On one box I get :
"error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/archlinuxgis.db: Unrecognized archive format"
And on the other one this:
"error : failed to update achlinuxgis (download library error)"

What to do?

Thanks for reporting.

Just wait that I fix the repositories. Hopefully I can check them
today at lunchtime, but more probably this will happen this evening,
local time.

Thanks, regards,

Sorry Huub,

>> What to do?

As I see now, there is something not working in my DynDNS config as
visiting http://archlinuxgis.no-ip.org doesn't show a folder listing
(which should do) and instead it presents some sort of HTTP
authentication, so what I could imply is that my home system didn't
refresh last IP address change.

This is definitely going to be fixed this evening. I will post a new
message here when things by my side are in good shape.

As I suspected, there was a problem updating the dynamic IP I got from the provider with archlinuxgis.no-ip.org (impacting also my main site). You can read more on that @ http://archlinuxgis.github.com/blog/2012/07/31/repos-not-available.html

I've tried to sync with the repos then and it was fine for me. Anyways, I did refresh completely the repo, so maybe a new db file will be pushed.

Please try to make a 'pacman -Syy' to see if your issues go away.

Thanks, regards,
