[SOLVED] Error message every time using pacman

Hi.
I was installing foomatic-db when my laptop died. Since then every time I use pacman i get this message

error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/foomatic-db-1:4.0.15_20120406-1/desc: No such file or directory

I can still use pacman without problems but is there a way to get rid of the error-message coming every time?

Removing (and if you wish, reinstalling) foomatic-db seems like a logical first step.

edit: too slow

Re: [SOLVED] Error message every time using pacman

When I try to reinstall I get a lot of "exists in filesystem"-messages. This is the bottom part of the list because it goes on for long.

foomatic-db: /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Xerox-WorkCentre_XK35c.xml exists in filesystem
foomatic-db: /usr/share/foomatic/xmlschema/driver.xsd exists in filesystem
foomatic-db: /usr/share/foomatic/xmlschema/option.xsd exists in filesystem
foomatic-db: /usr/share/foomatic/xmlschema/printer.xsd exists in filesystem
foomatic-db: /usr/share/foomatic/xmlschema/types.xsd exists in filesystem
foomatic-db: /usr/share/licenses/foomatic-db/COPYING exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Thanks, it is gone now. Had to use the "pacman -S --force $package" and then change the permissions for the foomatic folder.
