[Solved - User Error] Pidgin official Install

Hi new arch user who is currently trying to install pidgin from the official repository.

running pacman -S pidgin     
error: failed retrieving file 'protobuf-c-1.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' <Mirror> The requested URL returned error: 404 this happens for all configured mirrors

I have taken a look at each of the mirrors and can only find the following file  protobuf-c-1.1.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.

As said above i am new so just trying to understand etiquette do i flag the package as out of date or do i report it as a bug?

As a fix to get me going could i try to id when the file is located and create a symlink?

Neither. You update your pacman database, as you should always do before installing packages.

pacman -Suy pidgin
