[Solved] failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)

I hadn't upgraded in awhile due to internet download limitations.  I go to upgrade today and there were 120 packages to upgrade.  Couldn't get anywhere.  Kept getting: "error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)"

Google to the rescue...

[root@(none) ~]# cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
[root@(none) pkg]# ls *.part
filesystem-2012.6-4-any.pkg.tar.xz.part
[root@(none) pkg]# rm *.part
[root@(none) pkg]# pacman -Syu

SUCCESS!
