Problem installing some packages from community repo

Hello,

Anybody knows why some files for community packages don’t exist? (or better how to fix it and can I do it myself?)

Or why opera is still version 78, even though 79 went out some time ago:

> pacman -Ss ^opera
(...)
community/opera 78.0.4093.184-1 [installed]
    A fast and secure web browser
(...)

I of course updated my mirrors with sudo pacman-mirrors -c Poland,Germany,Netherlands,Global,Hungary and ran sudo pacman -Syy. My mirrors:

> pacman-mirrors --status
Local mirror status for stable branch

Also I get a lot of info that community packages are older than mine:

bad mirror (old database : 2021-09-04)

Thank you. I thought that pacman-mirrors -c <COUNTRY_LIST> will give me only current/updated mirrors for these countries. It seems I was doing it wrong.
But this command seems to update them to current ones properly:

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5

And now everything works. Thank you again.

YES, good command - here this mirror is sync (for pacman-mirrors) but sync to ???(old server ?) or partial sync ?

man pacman-mirrors:

-f, --fasttrack [NUMBER]
Generates a random mirrorlist

here you were just lucky because this command randomly takes some mirrors (5 for you) in the list and the wrong server was not selected

Hmm I have different description for -f:

  -f, --fasttrack [NUMBER]
                        Generate mirrorlist with a number of up-to-date mirrors. Overrides : --geoip, --method

My current mirrors:

> pacman-mirrors --status
Local mirror status for stable branch
Mirror #1   OK  00:09   Germany      https://manjaro.re/
Mirror #2   OK  00:10   Netherlands  https://mirror.erickochen.nl/manjaro/
Mirror #3   OK  00:01   Germany      https://mirror.alpix.eu/manjaro/
Mirror #4   OK  00:01   Germany      https://manjaro.moson.eu/
Mirror #5   OK       -1 Netherlands  https://manjaro.mirrors.lavatech.top/

So manjaro.re is still there… If this is the broken mirror (I had it before), I have no idea now why it worked…
