The package octave seeem to be messed up in pacman?

Hi

I tried to install "octave" on a couple of machines yesterday.  I synced the pacman database and tryed to install octave.

pacman -Sy octave

The first odd thing that happened is that it reported the total size of the files to be downloaded as 1.6MB  -  I know that octave is a much bigger package.

Targets: fftw-3.1.1-1 octave-2.1.72-1

Total Package Size:   1.6 MB

Then pacman downloaded fftw without any problems but it repeatedly issued

No such file `octave-2.1.72-1.pkg.tar.gz'

errors from many different servers until it found octave-2.1.72-1, which was currupts when it was done downloading.  I looked at the files on a few servers and they have:

octave-2.1.73-1.pkg.tar.gz

Is this an issue that needs to be fixed?

Thanks
Kevin
