Error add local repository[SOLVED]

Question

I create a local repository as wiki says. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cus … nd_gensync.
My db.tar.gz is at
/home/lq/abs/myrepo.db.tar.gz
And here is my 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
#HoldPkg = pacman glibc
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst = pacman
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl %u > %o
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg =xorg-server xorg-server-utils xf86-input-evdev xf86-input- synaptics kernel26 kernel26-firmware libgl ati-dri kernel-headers glibc binutils gcc-libs gcc
#IgnoreGroup =
#NoUpgrade =
#NoExtract =
# Misc options (all disabled by default)
#NoPassiveFtp
#UseSyslog
#ShowSize
#UseDelta
#TotalDownload
# 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
# 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.
# Testing is disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the following
# two lines. You can add preferred servers immediately after the header,
# and they will be used before the default mirrors.
#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[myrepo]
Server = file:///home/lq/abs
# An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[archlinuxfr]
#Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686
#[Gooth]
#Server = http://public.gooth.cn/archlinux/gooth/os/i686
And when update,it says
2009-10-12 21:26:59 (9.92 MB/s) - `/var/lib/pacman/community.db.tar.gz.part' saved [377225/377225]
file:///home/lq/abs/myrepo.db.tar.gz: Unsupported scheme `file'.
:: Starting full system upgrade...
local database is up to date
Could anyone tell me what is the problem ?

Answer 1

Looks like you are using wget as your download agent (check XferCommand in pacman.conf). wget doesn't understand file, you can either switch to curl or the internal downloader.
