Old Danctnix server in Pacman Config (solved)
#1
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.
