[Solved] pacman failed retrieving file mesa-11.0.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Hi

I'm installing Arch in a VirtualBox VM.
The last command issued was

pacman -S xorg-server

It retrieved about a dozen files then said

failed retrieving file 'mesa-11.0.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz'

and added that the URL got error 404.

Pacman tried several mirrors, with the same error.
I've tried again twice and got the same result.

Can't find anything with google.
Could it be that this file has dropped out of the repos so recently that no-one else has noticed yet?

Hope you don't need detailed logs, as I don't know how to get access to them at this stage: vbox extensions are not installed, so there's no shared folder; can't copy paste from the terminal (can't even scroll back).

mesa is at 11.0.4 now, so I guess you should up{date,grade} your local package{s, repositories}.

Essentially

pacman -Syu xorg-server

EDIT ah, too late.

Hope you don't need detailed logs, as I don't know how to get access to them at this stage: vbox extensions are not installed, so there's no shared folder; can't copy paste from the terminal (can't even scroll back).

There is ix.io and sprunge.us.

Brilliant! Thanks 
Maybe I'll try adding that to the Beginners' guide.

Why? This problem is already mentioned in the pacman wiki page [1] with a suitable solution.
