Bug #1888
Pacman mirrorlist download redirects to non-existant old mirrorlist
0%
Description
When trying to download the pacman mirrorlist via https://www.parabola.nu/packages/libre/any/pacman-mirrorlist/download as shown on https://wiki.parabola.nu/Migration_from_Arch, you are redirected to a 404 error page with the URL https://repo.parabola.nu/libre/os/armv7h/pacman-mirrorlist-20171221-1.parabola1-any.pkg.tar.xz. Instead, the page should redirect to the updated mirrorlist at https://repo.parabola.nu/pool/parabola/pacman-mirrorlist-20180712-1.parabola1-any.pkg.tar.xz.

- Related to Bug #880: [www] "download from mirror" links don't work added
Updated by isacdaavid almost 5 years ago
download links on parabola.nu/packages are broken, probably due to bug #880. on top of that, #1666 led to the disappearance of arch=(any) packages from the web.
the solution is to download the file directly from a mirror, as in
pacman -U https://repo.parabola.nu/pool/parabola/pacman-mirrorlist-20180712-1.parabola1-any.pkg.tar.xz
I have updated the migration guides to reflect the most recent fallback links.
