Since Sunday whenever I launch the mirror-check command in Octopi, the following error message displays:
Mirror-check...
Checking core main apps...
md5sum: /temp/.1000mirrordb.temp: No such file or directory
'core' is not synced.
'main' is not synced.
'apps' is not synced.
Command finished OK
I can no longer sync with the database. Any clue?
Well, KaOS is a small distribution with a very limited set of mirrors. It seems that one mirror is currently having problems and the best we can do is just wait a little...
Before blaming a mirror, make sure your local database is not corrupted/blocked:
sudo pacman -Syy
mirror-check
If that doesn't fix, show what mirror is in use:
kate /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
A mirror not syncing has very little to do with the size of a distro, it really is the opposite, the more mirrors the bigger the change one is not workng as should. If one is not syncing at all, of course change to a working a mirror.
It seems is down right now, so make sure to comment it out in your mirrorlist.
And in case yoo didn't merge your new mirrorlist from the just updates pacman-mirrorlist package, it is also a good time to add the new mirror there:
Server = http://kaosx.tk/repo/$repo
My post is only stating the fact. Who is blaming who and what ... not me obviously. Can we move on to more peaceful grounds!
From the terminal:

How do I comment out 'mirror3.layerjet.com' in my mirrorlist?
Thanks
sudo kate /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
It seems, that is up again so it should be safe for now to uncomment that mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file...
