[SOLVED]emacs24 package issues

I'm getting the following error message when I run

pacman -S emacs

:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/emacs-24.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (checksum)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (checksum))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

has anyone else experienced this?

UPDATE: changing the mirror did the trick

Re: [SOLVED]emacs24 package issues

Yes, I've seen the same problem. Specifically, when I attempt a pacman -Syu, I get

(26/26) checking package integrity
...

It worked fine for me. Which mirror are you using?

I'm seeing the same issue, with ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/. Tried reinitializing the Pacman GPG database just in case; no dice.

Re: [SOLVED]emacs24 package issues

I got it from http://mirror.de.leaseweb.net (courtesy of Reflector). Maybe you can try a different mirror?

Re: [SOLVED]emacs24 package issues

Did you try to clear your pacman cache and try again? (pacman -Scc)

The upgrade worked fine for me, using mirror ftp://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch.

Clearing the cache didn't do it, but mirror.nl.leaseweb.net did. Looks like mirror.kernel.org may have a bad copy or something. Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED]emacs24 package issues

Hm, should the people at mirror.kernel.org be notified in some way?
