Cannot install chroot following Readme #37

I am trying to install the chroot following the default instructions, on a Samsung ARM-based chromebook. Downloading and installing the tarball with chroagh seems to be completing without any problems. However the chroot installation step fails.

chronos@localhost ~/Downloads/drinkcat-chroagh-17bba37 $ sudo sh -e installer/main.sh -r arch -t xfce

Not an issue if the mirror repo option is used . I ran 

sudo sh -e installer/main.sh -r arch -t xfce -m 'http://fi.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/armv7h/$repo'

and the installation started.

Sorry pressed closed by mistake. Reopening as the default instructions (without the mirror repo option) still fail.

Looks like one of the archlinux ARM mirrors has issues. mirror.archlinuxarm.org points to a different server on each request, depending on your location.

You could try to pin-point which server is faulty with a command like:

( set -e; for i in `seq 1 100`; do rm -f file.tar.xz; curl -v --retry 3 http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/armv7h/core/util-linux-2.24.1-6-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz -o file.tar.xz; tar tvf file.tar.xz; done ) 2>&1 | tee log

(it doesn't fail for me, but it may from your location)

If you find out which server, please report the problem upstream (maybe here: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/issues?state=open).

Going to assume this is/was a transient mirror issue. Please re-open if it happens again.
