[SOLVED] Pacman issue error, that apprently affects nothing.

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? 
System:
64 bit
Gnome 3
Using NetworkManager


"Output"
[jonathan@jon-l-main ~]$ sudo pacman -S wesnoth

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman issue error, that apprently affects nothing.

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

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman issue error, that apprently affects nothing.

Looks like you lost both database entries for that package...   no idea how that happened...

"pacman -Sf gpm"  will fix it.
