kdelibs3-3.5.9-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz missing in all mirrors ? ;(

There seems to be a missing file in a lot (all?) of the mirrors because pacman -Syu fails to update with whatever combination of mirrors I use.
Here is the error:

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
:: Retrieving packages from extra...
error: failed retrieving file 'kdelibs3-3.5.9-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz' from mirrors.easynews.com : Not Found
warning: failed to retrieve some files from extra
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

It must be a problem with a lot of mirrors out there because it failed consistently throughout the day even when I changed mirrors several times.

I figured it out with the help of the arch irc channel

try this.... pacman -S extra/kdelibs3

Hope that helps

supersako,

You are correct! That did work.
Nevertheless it is odd that only that package failed with all my mirrors !! All the other upgrades seem to be OK.

Thanks a lot!!
