I seem to get this error, repeatedly every time I do something with Pacman. Yet, it will still work exactly as it should. Any way I can get this to go away?

It looks like you lost a database file. Reinstall gpm to get it back.

Looks like you lost both database entries for that package... no idea how that happened...
"pacman -Sf gpm" will fix it.
