Files in /var/lib/pacman/local newer than in extra? [solved]

Earlier today tried pacman -Syu and got the following message:

How did this happen and what can I do to fix it. I mean, obviously all the files shown in local were downloaded using pacman, so how can the local version be greater than the individual versions found in current, extra, testing, unstable or community?!!

Thanks,
Gary :x

Figured this out. Apparently the first mirror listed in the /etc/pacman.d extra file is out of sync. Commented out the first two. Ftp.arch is working fine. Updated the extra db and found two apps needed updating. No more errors, since the /var/lib/pacman/extra directory was completely updated. Will try the original mirror in a few days.

Yep, loads of files were updated earlier today, so the mirrors were mostly out of sync for a while.  Look here for more info:
