Summary and Info:
I'm using ALA (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive) to recover an old arch installation (presumably from 2016)
(see also my original post here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=252630(

But a 404 seems to happen regularly for two packages preventing the installation to complete successfully.

@WorMzy from the thread mentioned above suggested this
it seems the 'automatic redirection' that's meant to be in place isn't working. You might want to open a bug about that.

The 2 packages are:
P1 is missing in 2015
P2 is missing end of 2015, end plus mid 2016 and start of 2017

P1: failed retrieving file 'lib32-glibc-2.22-3.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from archive.archlinux.org : The requested URL returned error: 404
P2: failed retrieving file 'r-3.3.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from archive.archlinux.org : The requested URL returned error: 404

Steps to Reproduce:

Follow steps as in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive
Modify /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist accordingly.
However no guarantees made as the outcome may depend on the particular state of my machine.
This task depends upon

The redirect regex didn't allow single-character pkgnames or pkgrels with dots in them. This should be fixed now. Can you try again?
