Failed retrieving file libdrm-2.4.45-i686.pkg.tar.xz for X installatio

When running # pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit

Error: failed retrieving file libdrm-2.4.45-i686.pkg.tar.xz from mirrorurl.example
I get the above error. 404s. It's being checked on 3 mirrors so I doubt all three of them are down.

Any ideas?

And I've just fixed it by running
pacman -Syy

Never -y without -u. You've just created a partial upgrade scenario — don't be suprised when something breaks.

Were you installing Arch afresh or was this an older installation? You should always update your system before installing new packages: 'pacman -Syu foo'.
