Looks like something is wrong at belnet.be... Try change your mirror, and do a pacman -Syy then try again.
Try uncomment only one mirror at any time. There should be one mirror that has it.

Re: Error on openoffice-base installation

when you change the mirror fresh the repo db using pacman -Sy. then it should fetch the pkg.
