Trouble installing Steam (one package is causing issues)

[computerhelp]

New install, and I’m running sudo pacman -S steam (as you do)

I agree to install a bunch of packages, however I can’t download one package

lib32-harfbuzz-11.4.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

I get a ton of errors basically saying that it can’t download it from any mirror

I’ve tried with & without a VPN. I’ve updated mirrors in both scenarios, switched countries with a VPN…and I’m still getting the same error

Can someone please guide me on how to fix it

You should update your system before you install something (as you do).

I updated my system, ran the command and it worked (as it should)

Thanks!

I was thrown off because I just installed yesterday and am surprised that an update is already there.

You’ll get updates practically every day. But it is up to you when to update them.
As said above, when installing packages, it is very much recommended to update too, especially if you haven’t updated in a while.

For example:

sudo pacman -Syu <name1> <name2> # ...

will install packages <name1> and <name2> after updating the system.
