"No such file or directory" when pacman -S.[solved

161245/home/riwa/hacking/python/projects# pacman_all -S gftp
error: /var/lib/pacman/local/libxfce4util-4.2.3.2-3/desc: No such file or directory
error: /var/lib/pacman/local/libxfce4util-4.2.3.2-3/desc: No such file or directory
error: /var/lib/pacman/local/libxfce4util-4.2.3.2-3/desc: No such file or directory

Targets: gftp-2.0.18-1

Total Package Size:   0.9 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] Y

I get (at least I think so) the file after a while but don't seem to be able to update anymore. For maybie three days I've done -Syu once a day without a single download except bitmaps-stream-vera (or similiar). It also consumes a lot of time. I've read through my pacman.conf but can't find anything referring to the path above. What can cause this?

There's a problem with your local db. Remove the broken entry:

# rm -r /var/lib/pacman/local/libxfce4util-4.2.3.2-3

and reinstall libxfce4util.

Hmm. Seems to work. Had to force it though. Got a lot of file conflicts. Thanks for the help.
