Hi everyone,

I tried downloading the libreoffice-fresh installation from the Archwiki and got this result:

My noob analysis tells me the prtuguese servers migtht be down given the error 404?

I am not sure of what to do. If I can manage something I’ll update.

Thanks for the help!

Update your mirrors from the welcome app.

It worked! thank you!

First time experiencing the “Just update [something]” lecture.

For the next person in distress I did:

eos-rankmirrors --verbose

followed by:

yay -Syyu

Per this post.

Welcome to the forum :enos_flag: :enos:
Just as a side note.
The right way of installing something on a rolling distro is like this.

yay -Syu (package name)

Not needed to use -Syyu (just -Syu) in case of a normal update or install.

Just as a tip, libreoffice-fresh is on the Arch mirrors, not on EndeavourOS mirrors.

So doing only eos-rankmirrors (that ranks only EndeavourOS mirrors) did not help.
The general update (yay -Syyu) probably helped in this case (assuming you didn’t do anything else to fix the problem).

The Arch mirrors can be ranked with e.g. reflector.

Got it.

I am still understanding the distinction between the more specific EOS commands and the more global Arch commands. I thought updating through eos-rankmirrorswould be the “most correct” solution. I still have a lot to learn!
