[solved] problem after installation

hi,
   I installed from 2013.05.01 iso (on 32bit)
but when I reboot, when I upgrade I have:

pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
error: could not parse package description file 'perl-anyevent-4:7.04-1/depends' from db 'extra'

can you help me?

thank you

Re: [solved] problem after installation

I don't recognize that specific error, but it looks like a problem with your package database; do `pacman -Syyu` to force a refresh of the database.

EDIT: actually it may more likely be an issue with the package in your cache.  Clear your cache with `pacman -Scc` and answer yes to both, or alternately manually delete that file from your cache, then `pacman -Syyu`
