Chaotic-aur Errors in EOS

General system Applications

Getting the below errors when updating. Not getting those with Big Linux or MXArch.
Any ideas on those errors? I’ve searched around but haven’t found anything yet.

Problems with 2 Chaotic-aur mirrors. Looks like they’re offline, maybe just temporarily. I don’t know how many mirrors they have. Did the update complete after those messages? When a mirror fails, pacman will work through configured mirrors until it finds one that works.

Maybe resfresh the mirror list otherwise I am out of ideas besides give it a few

Yep, everything updated, just was wondering why I was seeing those errors.

5

they are more warnings than errors. I know it says error however that is very misleading. It should say warning: failed.

Those are dead mirrors. Same thing happened to me yesterday. I edited /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist by commenting out those mirrors. Updated fine afterwords.

I then ran rate-mirrors chaotic-aur | sudo tee /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist and updated again, all was well

You’ll find that error whenever a mirror is unreachable. (Even Arch’s mirrors during the DDoS attacks.) As long as you have multiple mirrors in your list, and at least one is accessible, the update will be fine.
