Pacman Problem

I've benn running pacman -Syu twice during this week and it seems that pacman wants to download and upload every time the same packages.  They are as follows:
Targets: alsa-driver-1.0.7-1 alsa-lib-1.0.7-1 alsa-oss-1.0.7-1
         alsa-utils-1.0.7-1 arts-1.3.1-2 codecs-20041107-1 cube-2004_05_22-2
         dhcpcd-1.3.22pl4-4 gconf-2.8.1-1 gdm-2.6.0.6-1 gnome-mime-data-2.4.2-1
         hotplug-2004_09_23-2 hwd-4.1.2-1 initscripts-0.7-8 lm_sensors-2.8.8-1
         mtools-3.9.9-2 kdebase-3.3.1-3 kdegraphics-3.3.1-3 openexr-1.2.1-1
         kdelibs-3.3.1-4 libpcap-0.8.3-1 ppp-2.4.3-1 openslp-1.0.11-1

         metacity-2.8.6-1 module-init-tools-3.1-2 net-tools-1.60-9 samba-3.0.9-1
         sdl_gfx-2.0.9-1 smclone-0.93.2-2 taglib-1.3.1-1 wireless_tools-27-1

Total Package Size:   158.3 MB
As I mentioned before it's been done already twice but it wants to do that again. I've searched forums and tried pacman -Scc but it didn't help seems to be the same. Can someone help me please?  :cry:  Even that I have adsl it takes some time but what its worse I don't understand what's going on. :cry:

Re: Pacman Problem

cd /var/lib/pacman/local

* check the folders in there to see if there are any duplicate ones for the packages that keep reinstalling
* remove the new version folder
* reinstall the package (the old version folder should be replaced by a new version folder)

HTH

EDIT:
I've reread your post and I'm no longer very sure the above method will work... but you can try it. Duplicates in that folder are a NONO.. that shows corrupt pacman DB.

Re: Pacman Problem

I've donne some changes to my /etc/pacman.conf file before and added unofficial mirrors. What happened was that during the Su, pacman had a problem with phrakture's mirror- it refused the connection(or whatever) :oops:  than upgrade didn't continue. So I've deleted that mirror and everything works fine. Arch is great  lol  lol

Anyway thank you for your quick response and help.
