I had to add spaces to the links because I can’t post links here

nvidia-470xx-settings is an AUR package.
Pacman cannot install AUR packages. Either you try pamac or try “yay”

AUR through pamac worked, thanks! Danke!

Please use Packages to see what is in the repository.
@pbvie Refresh the mirrors first:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5

then run
sudo pacman -Syyu nvidia-470xx-settings

Thanks! It seems pacman was trying to download 03-2 version when the up-to-date version was 03-3. I assumed that pacman -y would be enough to make sure it didn’t happen, but alas. I removed the AUR package and installed the one from extra repository. It works. Thanks again!
