pacman xorg error

Targets: xorg-11R6.8.2-6

Total Package Size:   60.3 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] Y

checking package integrity... 
error: archive xorg-11R6.8.2-6.pkg.tar.gz is corrupted

Wondering what can cause this issue, if anyone can help me get a "non-corrupted" one in the database.  thanks.

Two possible problems:  I recompiled xorg previously with srcpac.  And I also recently was trying to get xorg recompiled again, but it oddly just refused to respond to reinstalling, so i might have damaged the database trying to force things to work.  I'm a dip-wad...

Re: pacman xorg error

Hey, that worked.  Thanks alot.

I just thought that using $pacman -Sc twice would clear the cache, but apparently, it doesn't, or it's referring to something else I don't know about.

Or should that be pacman -Scc?

Yes, to totally clear the cache, use:

pacman -Scc
