[Solved] Odd errors on system upgrade

Hi all,
I generally update my system at least once a week. It's proving difficult this week however, as I'm getting gpg and database errors.

sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for <user>: 
error: GPGME error: No data

I've found a few threads on various forums, none of which have yielded results. The 'tick-tack.mynetgear.com' is making me a little nervous as I have a netgear router but I've never had pacman reference it before. Any ideas?

Post the head of your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Re: [Solved] Odd errors on system upgrade

Changing the mirror list entry for tick-tack just gave me a 404 error for the new domain. I commented that entry out along with mirrors.sonic.net (it was slow). The MIT mirror didn't give me a 404 but I still had GPG errors, which were solved with

rm -r /var/lib/pacman/sync

which now allows me to update my system.
