Old Danctnix server in Pacman Config (solved) - KelsonV - 11-19-2025
PSA for anyone who (like me) is still using an install based on the original PineTab2 image and finding that pacman won't upgrade anything today due to a "bad database" (which is actually an HTML error page).
The old danctnix server name at p64.arikawa-hi.me appears to have expired. I went looking and confirmed that it expired 2 years ago and was renewed at the time, and that archmobile.mirror.danctnix.org is the valid new server name. After updating /etc/pacman.conf to point to the new server, I was able to sync successfully again.

Thanks for sharing this KelsonV. I've been having a challenging time with my new PT2. This resolved my issue.

I joined just to say this should be pinned or something on the store page LOL I just received my tab2 and was stuck trying to figure out why nothing would update. MVP
