Was trying to install eclipse which pacman tells me needs libwebkit-1.6.3-1 as well.
However, the install fails because none of my mirrors can find 'libwebkit-1.6.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz'
When you google search "arch libwebkit" the first link shows Arch Linux - libwebkit 1.6.3-1 (x86_64), which takes you to the official Arch libwebkit package page http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … libwebkit/, but after clicking through, the version listed there is 1.8.1-1
I see it was updated today... is there some sort of disconnect between the updated file and the mirrors and/or pacman? I'm sure I can find and install the tarball from another source if I want to, I'm more curious about the repository/mirror/pacman update procedure.

When did you last synch the database? (pacman -Sy)
You should ALWAYS do a full system upgrade before/while installing new packages

...then your mirrors are out-of-date.

I'm using the following mirrors:
Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/archlin … o/os/$arch
Server = http://mirrors.rutgers.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://mirror.umd.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
They all have different rankings, high completion rates... would they ALL be out of date?
It seems to me that since the mirrors can't find 1.6.3-1 which is what pacman is requesting (and it's an old version), and the official Arch page lists 1.8.1-1, maybe the mirror files are up to date (which is why the old file is unavailable), but pacman is requesting the old version?

Just tried myself with the first mirror you listed and it's fetching 1.8.1-1 just fine here.
What does "pacman -Si libwebkit" tell you (versionwise)?

pacman uses the first mirror in the list that responds. Try commenting out the first mirror in your list and try again (pacman -Syyu).
