Whenever I try to install Arch using the official setup,
after chosing "Select packages" I get the message:
"error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from %mirror% : File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) error: failed to synchronize core: File unavailable e.g., file not found, no access)" I already searched the forums, but I can't get a solution: DHCP is up, I can ping google.nl, I tried several mirrors, even HTTP-mirrors and ftp.archlinux.org, but I always get this message in vc7. (Not 5 ;) |
This task depends upon

Try using wget to download core.db.tar.gz from a mirror and see if it works?
pacman --root /mnt --config /tmp/pacman.conf -Sy # update the target system
pacman -Sy # update the live system
Can you also check /etc/pacman.conf, /tmp/pacman.conf which mirrors are configured?
they will probably point to a separate mirrorlist file, check which is the topmost uncommented mirror, do they look okay? do they contain the $repo variable?
@Greg: I meant /arch/setup.
@Dieter: /etc/pacman.conf includes /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. The topmost uncommented mirror is archlinux.org, containing a $repo variable. /tmp/pacman.conf contains ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/metalab/distributions/archlinux/core/os/@ARCH@
The former pacman statement gave the same error message as above. The latter tried all repositories, but every repo ended up with the same message ("File unavailable" [FTP] or "File not found" [HTTP]).
Which iso did you use? any from http://dev.archlinux.org/~aaron/archiso/ ?
Oh, I thought the installer would replace @ARCH@ with i686 on the fly. Comparing it with mirrorlist on another box shows that this isn't correct.
I can try with beta3 or manually correct the entry in mirrorlist
The @ARCH@ one is new to me though, though the behaviour of that has also been changed since beta3 (see above ticket), so let's see what it gives.. if it still gives problems, which is the value of CARCH in /etc/makepkg.conf ?
