Describe the bug
Just tried to update via pacman and was unable to get community.files (others were ok). Looked at the mirror (de3 in Germany), the file does not exist. Looked at other mirrors. This file is missing there, too. Directory in mirrors is pretty empty...

To Reproduce
Just run pacman to update installation...

Expected behavior
No error.

The directory in the repository does not have a "community.files":
https://de3.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/armv7h/community/
Missing in other mirrors, too.
Maybe the mirrors are currently broken...
But I have no clue about this flavor, I come from debian.

Ah, I understand. Just remove community repo from /etc/pacman.conf.
