Pacman can't find Fakeroot (x86_64)

I'm trying to build a package from the AUR (ttf-ms-fonts), but "makefile" gives me an error about FAKEROOT not being installed. So, I'm trying to install fakeroot. However, whenever I type in "pacman -S fakeroot", none of the servers can find the file!

the output:

[user@computer ttf-ms-fonts]$ sudo pacman -S fakeroot

I'll try installing it from the fakeroot package page, but does anyone know what's wrong here?

PS. I was doing this as part of an installation of the whole base-devel group. Fakeroot was the only package that didn't install out of:
1) autoconf  2) automake  3) bison  4) fakeroot  5) flex  6) gcc  7) libtool  8) m4  9) make  10) patch  11) pkg-config)

pacman -Syy
If it doesn't work after that, change mirror and try again.

I did that, and now it installs fine.

Thanks, uhh I forgot that synchronizing databases is a good idea xD
