Have you tried refreshing your mirrors at all to see if this solves the problem?

3

Could also be a problem with your internet provider.

4

The problem is not with the provider or the mirrors. All packages are loaded except python-pyqt6-webengine-6.5.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zs

5

The problem is that you are trying to retrieve a package: python-pyqt6-webengine-6.5.0-2 that is no longer available on the mirrors.

The current one is: python-pyqt6-webengine 6.6.0-1

This means that your local data base is out of sync.

Edit:Do as it is posted by @ajgringo619 here below.

6

That’s because the package upgraded to v6.6.0-1 on the 1st. You need to run yay -Syu calibre instead.

The issue was that you were trying to install a single package on a system that was not updated for some time where the local data bases were out of sync with the current mirrors.

On Arch and by extension EnOS, you would need to always update your system before installing any package(s).

The command line given by @ajgringo619 does exactly that. Please mark their post as the solution of the thread. You could do so by clicking on ... and checking the box. This will mark the thread as solved and other users with similar problem will find the solution easier.
