Install from dev channel with Pacman Manjaro

#1

Registered user used to using subl on MacOS, want to install on Manjaro.

Following the web instruction provided, (1) install GPG key, worked fine, (2) select the dev channel and echo [sublime-text]\nServer = https://download.sublimetext.com/arch/dev/x86_64 to /etc/pacman.conf, checked this, it’s all good, then (3) sudo pacman -Syu sublime-text gets this:

[tony@linux-box-ajd ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu sublime-text
[sudo] password for tony:
:: Synchronising package databases…
error: failed to update core (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update extra (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update community (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update multilib (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update sublime-text (unable to lock database)
error: failed to synchronize all databases

Not sure if this is a pacman problem or an issue at the server end, because pinging https://download.sublimetext.com fails with 100% packet loss???

Hope this is something simple - any ideas?

Many thanks,

Tony

Have you blocked sublimetext.com in your hosts file?

I haven’t, I don’t think. My /etc/hosts file is pretty vanilla (I’ve had no reason to change it):

# Host addresses
127.0.0.1  localhost
127.0.1.1  linux-box-ajd
::1        localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1    ip6-allnodes
ff02::2    ip6-allrouters

Cheers

Tony
