Can't update: "manjaro-sway.db failed to download"

[leadenhawk]

Hello!

I am new to Manjaro Sway (but not Manjaro), have being using pacman -Syu to update, but until today there has not been any updates.

But today when I try to update, this is what I get:

:: Synchronizing package databases…
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
manjaro-sway.db failed to download
error: failed retrieving file ‘manjaro-sway.db’ from packages.manjaro-sway.download : The requested URL returned error: 404
error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)

Anyone got any ideas?

Welcome to the forum!

Try refreshing your mirror list.

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu

The -Syyu is necessary when refreshing the mirror list. Be sure to let the command finish, as it will take some time.

thanks for the reply!

but no change unfortunately:

hmmm I’m not allow to post links so I can’t cut and paste in full…

Started here:

::INFO Downloading mirrors from Manjaro

Had a couple of lines of Mirrors here

::INFO Using default mirror file
::INFO Querying mirrors - This may take some time

had section with various countries & links here

::INFO Mirror list generated and saved to: /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

It finished the same as previous.

So I just tried again now, and now it works!
I didn’t do anything…

I’m guessing it wasn’t my end, and it was sorted elsewhere.

Apologies for the time wastage.
