[arm-allstar] Installing additional python libraries help - pacman error

[Matt Rhoades]

Reading around the how to files and the forums here, it seemed as though I
could install pip with pacman, however I get this error:

[root at allstar-47727 /]# pacman -S python-pip
warning: database file for 'hamvoip-RPi4B' does not exist
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not find database)


Any direction on this topic would be appreciated.  I'm trying to install
the requests library for some custom python aviation weather scripting.


I wanted to validate it was installed, and then tried to update it:

[root at allstar-47727 /]# pacman -V
