Details
In the archiso, the configured threshold time in the
reflector.service systemd unit is set to 1 hour which
frequently returns _no_ matching mirrors. That should be
increased to 4. Otherwise the old, stale mirrors will be
used and frequently, mirrors which host packages older than
the ones installed on archiso are chosen.
Probably just a workaround for pacman's behaviour of only polling the first mirror for the package list instead of polling all and computing a consistent structure of up to date packages. |
