missing unarch.db

Hi,
I'm on a fully updated Arch 64b, including arch 3.5.1-1.
Since (i think) upgrading to that pacman version I get the following error message while upgrading (with pacman):

"error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/unarch.db: Failed to open '/var/lib/pacman/sync/unarch.db'"

Indeed, at that location, there is no such file, but an unarch directory, which does not include the unarch.db either.

Please advise!

Thanks

Re: missing unarch.db

So, unarch is some unofficial repo that you are using?   They need to create the repo db using repo-add from pacman-3.4 or later.
