Package unreachable for installation of xscreensaver

The list of dependencies for xscreensaver prompted by pacman reads :
Packages (19) gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.40.2-1  perl-encode-locale-1.05-9
             perl-file-listing-6.15-2  perl-html-parser-3.78-2
             perl-html-tagset-3.20-12  perl-http-cookies-6.10-3
             perl-http-daemon-6.14-2  perl-http-date-6.05-5
             perl-http-message-6.37-1  perl-http-negotiate-6.01-10
             perl-io-html-1.004-3  perl-libwww-6.60-2
             perl-lwp-mediatypes-6.04-2  perl-net-http-6.22-2
             perl-timedate-2.33-4  perl-try-tiny-0.31-2  perl-uri-5.12-1
             perl-www-robotrules-6.02-10  xscreensaver-6.04-1

Package perl-libwww-6.60-2 can't be downloaded from any of the 25 mirrors addressed by my mirrors'list :
The requested URL returned error: 404
Therefore, the installation fails.
But using archlinux homepage package-searching entry, I see that this package does not belong to the official list of packages :
pacman should require perl-libwww-6.67-1.
Is that a bug in xscreensaver's dependency list, or should I try some workaround?
