libarchive error doing 'pacman -Su' [problem already known]

Hi all,

Today, as every Sunday, I've done a 'pacman -Su', and surprise, surprise. After downloading everything, that the  result:
*********************
[root@barto-arch ~]# pacman -Suv

*********************

It didn't say what package, I thing I am going to install one by one, to see what happend. In the meantime, I've been searching both Arch site and others to find something similar, but nothing.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Peibol

Ok thanks.

I've just realized, updating one by one:

************
wireshark-0.99.6-5-i686.pkg.tar.gz
loading package data...
error: error while reading package: Unrecognized archive format: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
error: failed to add target 'wireshark-0.99.6-5-i686.pkg.tar.gz' (libarchive error)
************

Regards,
Peibol

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

A new wireshark package is on the way. Be patient......

EDIT: it's on the master server....wait for your mirror until he synced.
