Failed retrieving file while updating system

Riddhiman_7 · February 26, 2022, 2:38pm

While updating the system, I had the following issue:

After I ran this command:

sudo pacman -Syyu

and I got the following errors:

I am a newbie but have been using endeavour os for quite some time. Thanks in advance!

I assume you need to update your mirror list using reflector. You can easily do so in the eos welcome app.

joekamprad · February 26, 2022, 2:49pm

Error 404 means that the data requested by the client cannot be found on the server.

current version:
eos-rankmirrors 2.2.5-1

your client asking for:
eos-rankmirrors-2.2.3-2

So your packages search database is outdated.

try:
sudo pacman -Syy
yay

joekamprad · February 26, 2022, 2:51pm

only EndeavourOS packages fails for user

so would need:

eos-rankmirrors
to run

Ahh just read about it. So the welcome app uses reflector simple that is only for arch repo mirrors correct?

dalto · February 26, 2022, 2:54pm

Yes, reflector is only for the Arch mirrors.

That being said, this doesn’t look like a mirror issue to me. It looks like the database is out of date.

Zircon34 · February 26, 2022, 2:56pm

Just learned something thanks…

joekamprad · February 26, 2022, 2:57pm

is outdated

seems you have db files fetched from another mirror but it tries downloading from this one…

try ranking eos mirrors:

sudo eos-rankmirrors

https://mirror.jingk.ai/endeavouros/synctrace.txt

should be updated now

so simply run full update again:

yay
or:
sudo pacman -Syu and yay

Riddhiman_7 · February 26, 2022, 3:27pm

Yup! The problem is solved. Thanks for your time and effort…

joekamprad · February 26, 2022, 3:55pm

asian mirrors are always late in the sync…
If you have the jingk mirror on top of the list it should be okay…
