Failed System Upgrade - Farsight error?

I'm trying to upgrade my system and I get the following error:

sudo pacman -Syu --ignoregroup extra

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I'm not sure why I am getting this error? Can someone please give me some pointers?
Thanks

Re: Failed System Upgrade - Farsight error?

Check your pacman cache (/var/cache/pacman/pkg) for any incomplete/corrupted packages (amongst the ones you're trying to upgrade).

Or if you don't rely on your cache (for downgrading,...), you can clear it entirely with "pacman -Sc".

Thanks very much!
There was an incomplete download lying around, I deleted it and upgrade ran perfectly fine.

Thanks
