Error while running pacman -Syu

Hi.

I've been using Archlinux for about a week now, and I am very impressed with the distribution.
I have one problem though. I'm getting a weird error that I'm not sure how to solve.

While running sudo pacman -Syu I get the following error

[gerhard@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core                                                                                                                                                       [DONE]

error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/archlinuxfr/pacman.manfr-20090803-1/desc: No such file or directory

The error line repeats itself about 30 times.

Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Error while running pacman -Syu

I have problem like this but the main problem is corrupted packages. i download  soffice many times but at the installation time it says file is corruted do u want to delete or not. i just updatet the pacman and change the mirror but the problem is still.

Re: Error while running pacman -Syu

Thank you for the reply wonder, but I get the same type of error with pacman -Syyu.

I forgot to mention that I also got:

local database is up to date

after the error-lines.

[Edit]
It seems that airpac is the problem. I commented it out from /etc/pacman.conf, and I could now run pacman -Syyu again.
I'm not sure why airpac is behaving like this though..
