pacman -S firefox is not finding anything in the database after synching it, has it been removed?

Is there an easy way to see what is in the repository that I do not know of?

Thanks,

Walter

pacman -Ss firefox will search the repo for firefox.

For more info on pacman look here.

Thanks for that. Still confused as to why it is not there, unless it is an enforcement of the appliance approach. I only want it to get hulu desktop working and it seems to be a requirement based on the directory structure for the flash library.

Thanks.

Walter.

The firefox package is in the extra repo. What is in your /etc/pacman.conf?

Well it is set right now, somehow got the line messed up with two servers on it. Now when i try and install it I get kernel header warnings. I'll post more details later with the exact message.

This is what I get when trying to install firefox:

Code:
[root@mythtv /]# pacman -S firefox
resolving dependencies...
warning: provider package was selected (linux-api-headers provides kernel-headers)
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: linux-api-headers conflicts with kernel-headers. Remove kernel-headers? [Y/n]

It should be safe to answer (Y).

As the message implies "linux-api-headers provides kernel-headers" therefore you can remove kernel-headers.
