Is the pacman cache of the repository perhaps outdated? How do I sync the local repository index with the server?

This issue is discusses many times. You need firs update pacman mirrors:
pacman -Sy && pacman -S pacman-mirrors.

Ok you might want to list this in pacman -h then because it is difficult to find this information.

This is permanent issue that is solved automatically once you update packages. It might take long time because pacman try mirrors one by one for every package download.
I don't want put it in pacman help because it is unnecessary information for the help.

how to set the http proxy?

If you had searched the Internet before posting here, you could've saved us both a few minutes of time. Does this link help? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29783065/msys2-pacman-cant-update-packages-through-corporate-firewall

Hello

I have reinstalled msys2 and now I am seeing problems similar to ones described here.

I am behind corporate firewall and the solution described above was working for me (before reinstalation). I have checked that proxy settings used are still working with other program.

27.7.2015 I have tried "pacman -Sy" with following response:
mingw32 and mingw64 update files downloaded without problems, but msys update failed with message:
Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds warning: failed to retrieve some files
error: failed to commit transaction (download library error)

Today I tried again. I have tried "pacman -Sy" and "pacman -s pacman-mirrors" with response
error: failed retrieving file 'mingw32.db' from downloads.sourceforge.net : Connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds
error: failed to update mingw32 (download library error)

Also pacman-mirrors says it is up-to-date and tries to update to version pacman-mirrors-20141223-1

I have found files mirrorlist.mingw32, mirrorlist.mingw64 and mirrorlist.msys at https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/master/pacman-mirrors/ and update the files into my installed msys. It doesn't help, it fails on all three servers.

Seems this is something with your internet connection. I have no troubles with repo.msys2.org server.

Thats strange, becuase it worked before (first half of July) and I have no other problems with internet or any aplication using it.

OK, it is working now. The problem was at my side (bad copy-paste of export http_proxy=...) Sorry for the troubles.

Still, there is one problem. On "pacman -Sy" msys update failed with message:
Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds warning: failed to retrieve some files
error: failed to commit transaction (download library error)
And pacman-mirrors says it is up-to-date and tries to update to version pacman-mirrors-20141223-1
Here I have to update mirrorlist.msys manually. Then things works fine.
But if I manually update mirrorlist.mingw32 or update mirrorlists by "pacman -S pacman-mirrors", then next call of "pacman -Sy" will end up with:

:: Synchronizing package databases...

msys is up to date
error: database 'mingw32' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

I google-found some solution for this problem, but wasn't able to execute it without msys updates executed before.

So the solution for me is to handle mirrorlists manually. Maybe this will help someone else.

Anyway, thank you for your time.

Auto merge of #28042 - Jake-Shadle:master, r=steveklabnik
d3b367e 
Encountered an issue with `pacman` while going through the guide for installing the `mingw` toolchain on Windows with `msys2`, after some googling I found the [solution](msys2/MSYS2-packages#163 (comment)).

I thought it would be good to update the README so people don't get frustrated. 😃
