Issue with pdf tools

So it appears that pdf tools just broke. I don't know why. When I lunch emacs i get the following errors: Error (use-package): Failed to install pdf-tools: Package ‘pdf-tools-’ is unavailable Error (use-package): pdf-tools/:config: Symbol’s function definition is void: pdf-occur-global-minor-mode in my .emacs file i have these lines to configure pdf tools: ;; PDF files------------------------------------------------------------- (use-package pdf-tools :pin manual :config (pdf-tools-install) (setq-default pdf-view-display-size 'fit-width); open a pdf in pdf-view mode (define-key pdf-view-mode-map (kbd "C-s") 'isearch-forward); use isearch :custom (pdf-annot-activate-created-annotations t "automatically annotate highlights")) I tried M-x package reinstall pdf-tools, but for some reason I can't find the pdf-tools package. I really don't know what happened. I use Arch, and i3wm. My version of emacs is 27.2 Edit: [My emacs config file](https://github.com/PKpers/my-emacs-config/blob/3dc42fb985476bd53a4f30529c416d2900b7e7d7/.emacs)

Maybe you compile it manually? E.g. go to the directory where it is located and run "make" inside it. After this try (in a scratch buffer) `(require 'pdf-tools)`. If you see an error, run `M-x toggle-debug-on-error` and require again. Now you should see a backtrace. Maybe this backtrace is enlightening you. When it works, try the require with pdf-occur (this is where pdf-occur-minor-mode is located).

> Error (use-package): Failed to install pdf-tools: Package ‘pdf-tools-’ is unavailable Seems like your Emacs can not download pdf-tools. See you have correct repository in your package-archives, Melpa is OK: (require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t) Either execute that in your scratch buffer and try to install pdf-tools afterwards, or add it to your init file and see how it works.

I have the following lines in my init file: (require 'package) (setq package-archives '(("melpa". "https://melpa.org/packages/") ("org". "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") ("elpa". "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/"))) I tried the lines you proposed, but i had no luck. I'm still getting the same errors... Something that seems interesting to me is that I can't find pdf-tools listed when I'm doing `M-x package-show-package-list`
