The upgrade fails, however, with an error 'damaged package' or something (I have it in finnish). The file '/var/log/pacman.log'
does not give any info. I have no idea how to proceed.

EDIT: Thanks guys. I did

pacman -Sc

which fixed the problem. I should've known that from the start, but then again this was the first time I've had problems with upgrades.

Could you please run it as:

LC_ALL=C  pacman -Syu

That will cause the message to be created in English. Then, go ahead and post the full error message. Thanks.

Please use [ code ] tags,

like this

when pasting code.

'pacman -Syu --debug' might be helpful. Its output is quite long.
