I'm trying to install git on my system but it just fails every time with this message :

I've tried different mirrors and such but still the same error ?

Update you database (pacman -Sy).

did that :

:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date

but it's still giving the same error

Try -Syy, then -S git.

belnet.be seems to be out of sync for almost a week. Pick another mirror and copy it to the top of /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.
