Pacman librsync error?

I'm getting some strange behavior from Pacman, and constant errors looking as such:

[tom@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 archlinuxfr is up to date

I have tried reinstalling pacman (which is successful) and also librsync (which is not).

I'm getting behavior like this:

[tom@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S librsync

I'm still getting used to the 'Arch' way of doing things, but I come from Gentoo, so I'm in familiar territory.  I'm just at a loss of what's going on here with the package manager, and google gave me nothing useful.

Thanks.

Re: Pacman librsync error?

Indeed, that did it.

Still learning the quirks of pacman.  It's a bit different from portage (emerge).
