Hi all,

I have reason to believe a package I use (python-polib) was moved from the aur to the official extra repo. I'm now having trouble getting it installed.

The old page gives a 404: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-polib This now seems to be the right source for this package: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-polib/

However, I do a # pacman -Syyu python-polib and pacman can't find the target. Do I need to do something here that I'm missing?

My pacman.conf includes the "extra" repo and it updates during the Syyu command.

okay i got it now.

was something wrong with the mirror i was using? if so, is there some way to know if i have a "lesser" mirror? or was the arch linux world just going thru a major update today and i had to wait it out?

My only gut 'guess' is that your original mirror was out of date, then you happened to switch to one mid sync potentially.
