Ubiquitous packages missing

From the anals of my notes, 2021-06-04:

+
+Had an issue with pacman missing some ubiquitous packages (esr's `ascii`, xorg-xev, etc).
+This fixed it. I don't really know why - maybe some issues with my repos?
+This was cleanly installed artix-openrc.

+[5:46 PM] Bassman Leyla: So what I did is I went into /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch and uncommented a local mirror
+[5:46 PM] Bassman Leyla: Then I appended a config block a package maintainer gave me onto /etc/pacman.conf

ALSA

+The Alpine wiki ("Adding sound") says to install alsa-conf, alsa-lib, and alsa-utils, +add yourself to the audio group, and then do some more configuration that I've never needed to do: +Use alsamixer(1) to find a working sound card (press F6 from the first screen ALSAMixer presents) +and edit /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and change defaults.ctl.card and defaults.pcm.card to the sound card that works. +

+The Alpine wiki doesn't mention this but you'll need to enable the alsa OpenRC service and either start it or reboot. +I also installed gstreamer but I don't know why. +

+ALSA is clunky, many people prefer to use a frontend such as Pipewire or PulseAudio that exposes its own interface while remaining compatible with ALSA. +
