okay i got it now.
was something wrong with the mirror i was using? if so, is there some way to know if i have a “lesser” mirror? or was the arch linux world just going thru a major update today and i had to wait it out?
so… i did another reflector refresh and then did an Syyu. Now this is happening…
this is with the mirrorlist shown in the picture below. not sure why i’d be getting almost 3 gigs of updates right now. i’ve been updating this and using this machine daily for months on this installation. when that is complete i’ll try for python-polib again.
about 15 ruby packages got replaced with extra/ruby just now too.
that asciicinema thing is super cool too
pacman -Qi python | grep ArchitectureyieldsArchitecture : x86_64
yep, dns points me to 108.61.5.83 and i can get there by hostname and address thru the browser. i spun up a new live arch session i built with archiso. still can’t get a hit thru pacman tho. really can’t explain it.
absolutely. i’ve tried this on two x86 systems as well, my desktop and laptop. if there’s no quick fix or obvious problem, i’m not above doing a full reinstall to fix this.
i’ll spin up a vm to test too
output:
Server = https://arch.mirror.constant.com/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirrors.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://us.mirrors.cicku.me/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

no luck. still getting:
error: target not found: python-polib
giving this a try:
sudo reflector --latest 10 --protocol https --country 'United States' --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
i get a lot of simpsons pictures in the image results for some rsn
