pacman input/output error

I'm using pacman 2.9.8-4 and receive the following input/output error from time to time:

Abgebrochen

Is the problem server-side (i.e. "bad" sync) or client-side (something messed up in my installation/pacman bug)?

Cheers Sigi

edit: I forgot to mention that I'm using a caged pacman. Could this be related?

Re: pacman input/output error

The problem is the antesis mirror.  The recent pacman update should have given you .pacnew files indicating the removal of antesis.

Re: pacman input/output error

solved:

# rm  /var/lib/pacman/extra.tar.gz.part
# rm /tmp/pacman.lck
