Wait, you have tried to overwrite an existing operating-system? That would have been better to use cfdisk before and recreating the partitions you want to use.
I was re-using just one partition, so I didn't think I needed to re-partition.
This detail would have been for sure very important as Hyperbola is sharing namespaces for packages and groups, also more could get into interference.
It would be a good idea to add a note to the installation wiki page. The pacstrap error was very misleading.
]]>I wonder if there is some kind of interference with pacman-based distros.
]]>Very strange.
]]>Beware nevertheless that those guides and tipps may differ for Hyperbola - as said roots sharing means not all details for sure.
]]>It is always assumed that packages are downloaded from a mirror - therefore I have asked you on your pacman-configuration.
/etc/pacman.conf has core and extra repos enabled and Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist for each repo.
The servers in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist match this file: https://repo.hyperbola.info:50000/other … orlist.txt
I can't find anything wrong with these two files and I haven't edited them except to change SigLevel to Never.
]]>It seems like hyperbola has the host system and target system mixed up. It's looking for packages on my mounted partition instead of looking for them on the installation dvd.
No, Hyperbola is not looking for packages on your mounted partition. It is always assumed that packages are downloaded from a mirror - therefore I have asked you on your pacman-configuration. When you control with the command pacman -Ss PACKAGE you will for sure get the information taken from the ISO as this is the one running for that particular moment.
When you are NOT within the mounted partition (done with arch-chroot /mnt) there is nothing Hyperbola could do with it. The command pacstrap is doing a sync-process with available mirrors and then installing what you have added - group and / or single packages named.
]]>Have you made the control having an online-connection?
Yes, I tested with ping.
If you are installing in the way before with the ISO-image from disk, again the recommendation:
I burned the ISO to DVD.
Have you checked your /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist?
Yes, they look ok.

]]>Because ...
core is up to date
extra is up to dateIs slightly showing that pacstrap as command is not going the normal way as it should get information from a mirror. If you are installing in the way before with the ISO-image from disk, again the recommendation: Please use a disk connected to your computer through USB or any optical medium created (likewise DVD) at best.
