[Solved with the obvious]pacman is broken

For mothers day one of my 2 gig sticks of ram broke. After I removed the offending hardware, my file system was corrupted. I ran fsck and said yes one hundred times until it was repaired. Everything is appears to be running well except for pacman. Here is my code when I try to upgrade the system:

[cdom@betty ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
Password:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/core/cryptsetup-1.0.6-2/desc: No such file or directory
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra/foomatic-filters-4.0_20090424-1/desc:No such file or directory
^C
Interrupt signal received

[cdom@betty ~]$

This is a brand new installation of arch_64 on my Lenovo X61. I am wondering if this is relatively easy to fix or should I just reinstall.

Have you tried running pacman -Syy?
