Pacman can't find clang-4.0.2-4/desc

Hi,
I have a problem when installing any package with pacman.
I get this message:

 'error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/clang-4.0.1-4/desc: No such file or directory' 

but packages seem to be installed correctly.

I am not sure how to fix this error.
I tried

sudo pacman -S --force clang 

, but I got the following message:

warning: clang-4.0.1-4 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/clang-4.0.1-4/desc: No such file or directory
warning: could not fully load metadata for package clang-4.0.1-4
error: failed to prepare transaction (invalid or corrupted package)

Could you help me resolve the issue?
Thank you

Yes, thank you. It helped I think. I don't get any errors when I do

 sudo pacman --debug -Syu clang
