GNOME crash and fail to start after installation of gnome extra

Hello world!
I've see on the wiki the next message :
Attempting to install the gnome-extra group while a gnome environment is running will crash gnome while installing gnome-getting-started-docs. X will continue to run, but gnome will not work until fixed. To fix, simply install gnome-extra from a terminal rather than inside gnome. When complete, gnome should work again.

But when i want to install gnome extra during an openbox session, i've this message:

:: There are 55 members in group gnome-extra:

looking for conflicting packages...
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/gnome-getting-started-docs-3.22.0-1/desc: No such file or directory
warning: could not fully load metadata for package gnome-getting-started-docs-3.22.0-1

Do you have any tips to solve this problem ?

That is probably irrelevant as you have a totally different error.

Is your pacman database outdated? You can force a refresh with pacman -Syy.
Is your system fully up to date?
