Arch Linux

Description:

Multiple ABS packages cannot be built because their source packages cannot be found. I tried building them multiple times over a 3-day span. Some of these appear to be related to the kernel.org snafu, while others are on other websites.

There are also some packages which don't compile after download, but, since that could be a configuration issue, I'll investigate more and open a new bug if needed. I imagine that a lot of these packages just haven't been updated with links to the proper files. It does kind of kill my cross-platform build testing, though.

Using a Q6600 Core2Duo in an X58 motherboard running x86_64 with multilib packages. Probably not relevant.

Marking as high severity since not being able to build core packages in ABS makes it severely less useful. Especially for people maintaining arch on other platforms. Feel free to adjust.

Steps to reproduce:
Install ABS using pacman.
run abs to grab entire abs tree.
Attempt to build core repository, multiple packages fail from download/404 errors. These packages can't find their source files to compile:
-iproute2
-libcap
-linux-firmware
-man-pages
-mdadm
-module-init-tools
-pciutils
-ppl (not on kernel.org)
-reiserfsprogs
-run-parts (debianutils download fails from debian.org. Looks like it's an older version than what they have on the server (4.0.2 instead of 4.0.4). Updating the version number fixes the issue)
-tzdata (maybe related to the tz database going under due to litigation? Another company did mirror it, though)
-usbutils
