Installing Powerpill in the Archlinux Template VM

[hThoreau]

Qubes OS version R3.2: Archlinux Template VM

---

Expected behavior:

sudo pacman -S powerpill is successful

Actual behavior:

localhost% sudo pacman -S powerpill
warning: database file for 'xyne-x86_64' does not exist
error: target not found: powerpill

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

localhost% sudo leafpad /etc/pacman.conf

#  /etc/pacman.conf
#
#  See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
#  GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
#  The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
#  If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
# RootDir     = /
# DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
# CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
# LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
GPGDir      = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
# XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f %u > %o
# XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
# CleanMethod = KeepInstalled

#  Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup

#  By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
#  trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
# SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
# RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

#  NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
#  keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux
#  packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.

#
#  REPOSITORIES
#    - can be defined here or included from another file
#    - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#    - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#    - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#      have identical names, regardless of version number
#    - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#    - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
#  Repository entries are of the format:
#        [repo-name]
#        Server = ServerName
#        Include = IncludePath
#
#  The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
#  uncommented to enable the repo.
#

#  The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
#  repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
#  after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

# [testing]
# SigLevel = PackageRequired
# Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
SigLevel = PackageRequired

# [community-testing]
# SigLevel = PackageRequired
# Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#  If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
#  enable the multilib repositories as required here.

# [multilib-testing]
# Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# [multilib]
# Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#  An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
#  tips on creating your own repositories.
# [custom]
# SigLevel = Optional TrustAll

[xyne-x86_64]
#  A repo for Xyne's own projects: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/
#  Packages for the "x86_64" architecture.
#  Added for PowerPill app
#  Note that this includes all packages in [xyne-any].

Found the answer. That Archlinux documentation needs some updating, right? Maybe I could contribute?
