2.0.0.3-3 is the latest version, your mirror probably haven't synced completely, hence the old file is missing and your pacman doesn't know it should request -3 instead of -2.

I think the database wasn't updated on the servers, since this problem has been going on for a half day at least; see this this thread.

Well, I think you can only wait and see if it fixes itself and install the package manually in the meantime if you really need it (it's linked to in the other thread).

I think db on mirrors was'nt updated too. Problem persist.

Things are fixed, at least on ftp://locke.suu.edu/linux/dist/archlinux. See supa's message on the other thread,
