repo.msys2.org is not accessible #1884

bogdanlytvynovskyi · 2020-03-05T17:50:53Z

Tried building FFMPEG using vcpkg, and failed due to error while downloading msys2 package:

Biswa96 · 2020-03-05T18:02:16Z

This error seems to be similar as mentioned in this #1098 thread.

bogdanlytvynovskyi · 2020-03-05T18:25:41Z

That thread mentioned Asia a lot. My report is coming from USA, WA. Also I get refused connection right away rather than super slow speeds

apockill · 2020-03-05T18:58:42Z

I am also experiencing this issue for all of my packages

bogdanlytvynovskyi · 2020-03-05T19:07:53Z

That is not working when one needs to download base image of msys2

theAltaran · 2020-03-05T19:15:29Z

Its on sourceforge, where I just got my copy.

lazka · 2020-03-05T19:59:47Z

We are trying to get in contact with the person sponsoring the server.

lazka · 2020-03-05T20:18:22Z

Work has started on restoring the server, but it might take a while.

b9AcE · 2020-03-07T18:14:06Z

@lazka Any progress update?

GarrisonJohnston123 · 2020-03-08T21:18:32Z

The server seems to be back up for me.

b9AcE · 2020-03-08T21:21:28Z

Yes, repo.msys2.org is up for me too now.
Thanks, server-admin! <3

kr5ture · 2020-03-08T21:59:38Z

Unfortunately I still cannot download installer from repo.msys2.org (link taken from http://msys2.org main page):

@kr5ture No, it went down again in the process of further fixing.
We're back to patience...

b9AcE · 2020-03-09T00:29:42Z

...and it's up again.
Should remain up at least for the immediate future, is my understanding.

ylluminate · 2020-03-26T05:37:51Z

After downloading the nightly from https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/download/nightly-x86_64/msys2-x86_64-latest.exe, installing and executing pacman -Syu I'm still having failures such as:

@ylluminate Check your DNS and internet connection

lazka · 2020-03-26T08:47:45Z

Maybe some proxy?

ylluminate · 2020-03-26T14:36:34Z

Hmmm... @Delagen I have even statically set DNS servers and flushed the DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns as admin cmd.exe). Ping:

C:\Windows\System32>ping repo.msys2.org

Pinging diablo.msys2.org [45.59.69.178] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 45.59.69.178: bytes=32 time=82ms TTL=49
...

Update: It turns out that something had indeed corrupted the network settings of this particular computer (other workstations on the network were fine). After doing a complete Win10 network reset MSYS2's pacman began pulling down data.

Lewiscowles1986 · 2020-05-12T23:55:36Z

This has just happened again. Are there commands and documentation on running a mirror?

BigslimVdub · 2020-10-02T18:04:24Z

Looks like it is down again. Can't even download from https://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/msys2-x86_64-20200903.exe

Biswa96 · 2020-10-02T18:08:01Z

There is a recent reboot happen in that server and no answer from it. Installer can be downloaded from this release page https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases

Thanks! I was actually looking to update pacman and it was timing out so thought I'd just DL the latest. I will check in a while to see or maybe tomorrow. Are there mirrors available by any chance?

jeremyd2019 · 2020-10-02T18:15:28Z

https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/tree/master/pacman-mirrors installed to /etc/pacman.d

jamesseanwright · 2020-10-03T14:00:07Z

Are there mirrors available by any chance?

https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/tree/master/pacman-mirrors installed to /etc/pacman.d

These mirrorlists match the default ones that came with my MSYS2 installation, and the SourceForge mirror is unsuitable as it has a relatively small maximum file download size. I was therefore able to strip these two entries from the respective lists with cat and tail:

$ cp -r /etc/pacman.d /etc/pacman.d.backup
$ cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.mingw32 | tail -n 6 > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.mingw32
$ cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.mingw64 | tail -n 6 > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.mingw64
$ cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.msys | tail -n 6 > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.msys

The remaining mirrors work for me.

Edit popped a cp command in there to backup the original contents.

Biswa96 · 2020-10-03T14:06:51Z

Doing that you will loose the mirror url. Just open those files in any text editor and put # before the mirror you want to comment it out.

systemhalted · 2020-10-05T01:54:36Z

Any idea when this is going to get fixed?

Biswa96 · 2020-10-05T03:34:49Z

As far as I know know, there is no timeline. Comment out the msys2 and sourceforge mirrors and you are good to go. If you want to know the exact time of the fix, just do ping repo.msys2.org until you get response.

krader1961 · 2020-10-05T04:47:55Z

@Biswa96, Note that updating the mirror list in the various /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.m* files won't work if you, like me, have a moderately old installation. In that case you'll see errors like the following rather than a simple timeout:

error: mingw32: key "4A6129F4E4B84AE46ED7F635628F528CF3053E04" is unknown
:: Import PGP key 4A6129F4E4B84AE46ED7F635628F528CF3053E04? [Y/n]
error: key "4A6129F4E4B84AE46ED7F635628F528CF3053E04" could not be looked up remotely
error: mingw64: key "4A6129F4E4B84AE46ED7F635628F528CF3053E04" is unknown

Something is seriously broken with respect to package signatures and mirrors.

Biswa96 · 2020-10-05T04:52:58Z

In that case, you can download a stable installer from this release page https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases. Then install it in another location, install the packages and move configurations from old one. I have done it some times, just takes 1-2 minutes depending on network speed.

jeremyd2019 · 2020-10-05T05:12:48Z

I think you should have gotten those same errors against the primary, it looks like #2058/https://www.msys2.org/news/#2020-06-29-new-packagers

jamesseanwright · 2020-10-05T10:20:39Z

Doing that you will loose the mirror url. Just open those files in any text editor and put # before the mirror you want to comment it out.

~~That's easier said than done when MSYS2 doesn't come with a text editor by default (unless I was looking in the wrong place)! 😉~~ I could have just edited the files in Windows with Notepad. Not sure why I was trying to edit them exclusively through MSYS2 at the time 🤦🏻‍♂️
