Problems to update

Hello,

I’m having problems to update the system.

     error: failed retrieving file 'archlinuxfr.db' from repo.archlinux.fr : Failed to connect to repo.archlinux.fr port 80: Connection timed out

error: failed to update archlinuxfr (download library error)
error: failed to synchronize all databases

And for some reason i’m not able to post the whole outcome here at the forum.

[“No links allow in your post”] (?).

And … [“You can not embed media in yours …”]

Thanks.

This is an unofficial user repository for Arch as mentioned here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#archlinuxfr

It seems to be down at the moment, that’s probably why you get the Connection timed out error.

You can comment the lines referring to this repository you added in the /etc/pacman.conf file and try to update your system again.

This is after commented the … as you indicated …

sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
[keoss keos]# sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu 

@Aragorn The same windows saying i’m not able to post links …
so i can’t post the outcome …

Click on the </> button in the toolbar. You will see two lines of three backticks (```) appear. Paste the output in between those two lines.

that is what i have been doing all the times …

Hi!
Did you able to update correctly?
If not, copy the error with Ctrl+alt+c paste it here
If it the same error, edit /etc/pacman.conf as root and comment the lines of that repo, like @bill_t told you before

i already commented the line … got the same thing

Hi!
Any other lines referring to that server?
Can you upload the file to some paste in and post the link like this http : // link

Are you sure you commented the lines out?

You add a # sign in front of the lines. This is what commenting the lines out should look like:

# [archlinuxfr]
# Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

i went back and uncomented the line…

At the end we can read this:

 error: failed retrieving ... 'archlinuxfr.db' from repo.archlinux.fr ... Failed to connect to repo.archlinux.fr port 80: Connection refused

error: failed to update archlinuxfr (download library error)
error: failed to synchronize all databases
[keoss keos]#

@jabber there is another line too

SigLevel = never

do i have to comment this line too?

Look in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and see if the server is listed there. If it is, comment it out.

Probably not, but you might as well comment it out too, just for clarity.

@jabber now it is “updated”:

Starting full system upgrade…
there is nothing to do

The last Stable update was 2020-08-28.

It is impossible to continue like this … Why i cant post anything here at the forum?. is it a new regulation?

Do this:

If the output says there’s nothing to update, then you’re up to date.
