"xorg-fonts-alias" is not in the package set

I was trying to install xorg onto an arch box, ran pacman -S xorg; it gave me 22M of files to install, I told it yes, and it started spraying errors about files not found, file sizes not found, something like that.

I tried a couple more times and it finally downloaded the files, but then complained that a couple files were corrupt.

I went to /var/lib/pacman/current and deleted the entries for those files.

Now when I try to install xorg, it tells me that it cannot resolve dependencies for xorg-fonts-misc, because xorg-fonts-alias is not in the package set.  If I try to pacman -S xorg-fonts-alias, I get an error that it isn't found in the sync db

How do I fix whatever I broke?

Re: "xorg-fonts-alias" is not in the package set

I would probably try cleaning out my cache, and then forcing the stuff that is complaining (depending on what the errors are of course):

$ sudo pacman -Scc
$ suco pacman -Syuf
