Discuss the Pacman problem on Arch Linux.
This situation might indicate several possibilities: 1) no internet connection available; you can test by running a ping to 8.8.8.8, if successful you’re online—otherwise it should report "network unreachable." 2) internet is present but DNS server issues or incorrect configuration; try pinging www.google.com to verify DNS resolution. 3) your mirror list is outdated. Update it by editing /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with a local mirror file and rerun pacman.
Ping address 8.8.8.8 succeeded. Requested site www.google.com responded. Possible issue detected.
You can use any mirror that suits your needs, but popular choices include Arch Linux mirrors and the official repositories. Make sure to verify the latest packages there.
When the network status shows as unreachable, it indicates no internet access at all—this isn't related to the mirrorlist. This situation might be due to a recent setup or change. After establishing a connection, choose a mirror from your region and consider having multiple options available for backup purposes.
