[SOLVED] missing package metadata

I'm trying to clear my cache but keep getting this error:

$ sudo pacman -Sc
Cache directory: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
Packages to keep:
  All locally installed packages
Do you want to remove all other packages from cache? [Y/n] 
removing old packages from cache...
error: missing package metadata in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/systemd-arch-units-20120412-4-any.pkg.tar.xz

Database directory: /var/lib/pacman/
Do you want to remove unused repositories? [Y/n] 
removing unused sync repositories...

Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] missing package metadata

Why not just rm the offending package?

I feel stupid. Only tried pacman -R, which didn't work. Thanks.
