Trying to install alsa-utils but file is corrupted.

I've just installed Arch, coming form Gentoo, and I'm trying to install alsa-utils.  No matter what mirror I try, alsa-lib and alsa-utils files are always corrupted.  I'm using x86_64.

remove packages from cache
rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/archive alsa-lib-1.0.14rc3-2.pkg.tar.gz
rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/archive archive alsa-utils-1.0.14rc2-2.pkg.tar.gz
or you could clear out cache
pacman -Sc <removes old packages
pacman -Scc <removes all packages

Try another mirror. Maybe, the file on your mirror is corrupt.. I installed them today using the gigabit.nu mirror...

// STi

Every US mirror including achlinux.org and every mirror I've been able to connect to I get a corrupted file.
I haven't had any problems with any other files, just the 2 alsa files.
I'm unable to connect to the gigabit.nu mirror.

I don't know what else to do.

Re: Trying to install alsa-utils but file is corrupted.

Seems as if you're trying to install 14rc2.
The current version of alsa-utils is 14rc4.

Did you sync actually?

alsa-lib 1.0.14rc4-1
alsa-oss 1.0.12-1
alsa-utils 1.0.14rc4-1

Re: Trying to install alsa-utils but file is corrupted.

Not sure if its related. But I found that the current repo in ftp.archlinux.org has not been updated since 23rd May.

I filed a bug report at http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7277

I'm still only seeing the old versions, but I looked on ftp://ftp.gigabit.nu/current/os/x86_64/ and it shows newer ones.

Is there a way to change what server I sync pacman from? 

By you showing me that the packages I was downloading were outdated, I downloaded them and installed them with pacman locally.  Hopefully it worked.

Change the order of the servers in /etc/pacman.d/current (and extra, etc). The first server that responds is the one that's used.

Re: Trying to install alsa-utils but file is corrupted.

Should be fixed now. You might need to wait for your mirror to sync. I did a mistake when upgrading alsa-lib and alsa-utils for x86_64. Sorry about that.
