Hi,

This is not a archoffline issue. The package in your packages definition contains a invalid package: refind-efi.

The package you're looking for is probably REfind?

I can re-open if I missunderstood something, but this indicates that the issue is the given packages:

error: target not found: refind-efi

Which is an error from pacman not archoffline.

Hi,

to test your script, i am using a vanilla arch linux install that is some months old and running the command from your example:

python offline.py --mirrors=Sweden --packages="nano wget" --rebuild

So where ever this refind-efi is coming from, its not coming from a manual selection i did.

I installed archinstall as requirement, and didnt do any further installs or modifications of anything.

If my packages definition contains an invalid package, then this invalid package selection was provoked through something that was triggered automatically.

To reproduce this I would need pacman -Q | grep archiso from you.

Hi Anton,

here you go boss:

pacman -Q | grep archiso
archiso 43-2

This is an issue with your archiso being outdated. Your /usr/share/archiso/configs/releng/packages.x86_64 package list is outdated, which means upstream mirrors won't have the packages as they have been removed or re-named on all active mirrors. This is a result of archiso being out of date, not an issue with archoffline as it simply uses archiso and it's tools to build the ISO in a offline manner.

So even following archiso (wiki) will cause this issue for you.

Latest archiso is 52-1 and works:

Interestingly tho, perhaps I can add in support for archoffline to be pointed towards archive mirrors or custom mirrors - not just selecting active and updated mirrors.
