Welcome to Arch!

You've reached the website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible linux distribution that tries to Keep It Simple.

Currently we have official packages optimized for the i686 and x86-64 architectures. We complement our official package sets with a community-operated package repository that grows in size and quality each and every day.

Our strong community is diverse and helpful, and we pride ourselves on the range of skillsets and uses for Arch that stem from it. Please check out our forums and mailing lists to get your feet wet. Also glance through our wiki if you want to learn more about Arch.

gpm 1.20.3-1 in Core

When attempting to update to gpm 1.20.3-1, you will most likely get the following error message: error: could not prepare transaction error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) gpm: /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

ABS 2.0 In Core

Dangerous dbus update for testing

There's a dangerous dbus update coming up for the testing repository. The package itself isn't so special, as it works fine, but the fact that every dbus-daemon process on your system will crash during the upgrade can lead to unpleasant surprises. Testing users: please be aware of this and run your upcoming upgrades from a plain text console instead of ...
