Re: Problem with syncing

That looks a bit strange to me too.
First, at least, I'd delete the corrupted packages from the cache:

rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/<package_name>.pgk.tar.gz

Or, if you don't need any of your downloaded packages:

pacman -Scc (will delete all the files in cache)

If everything works after that, then it's fine
But I somehow get the feeling that there might be something wrong with your /etc/pacman.conf because it's trying to find /var/lib/pacman/extra.db.tar.gz which seems very weird to me.
You could of course also do as it suggests: check the log: /var/log/pacman.log

Re: Problem with syncing

I had the same problem a while ago, I did as the above post says but went all the way with pacman -Scc and the problem was fixed, don't know why but a couple of packages didn't download properly and where corrupted. At the time my isp had slowed my download speed because I'd used my limit, So maybe it  caused the corruption somehow.

Re: Problem with syncing

pacman -Scc worked fine

Thanks

I don't know why the extra is there though

It's not supposed to be right?

I think I messed with my pacman.conf a while back
