I then directly downloaded the package from multiple mirrors such as http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … sqlclient/ and http://mir.archlinux.fr/extra/os/x86_64/

sudo pacman -U ~/Downloads/libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

error: error while reading package /home/alpha/Downloads/libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz: Lzma library error: Corrupted input dataTruncated input file (needed 3589632 bytes, only 0 available)
error: '/home/alpha/Downloads/libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz': libarchive error

Any idea?

strange, is your root partition filled?

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to upgrade libmysqlclient - Corrupted

Plenty of space on my root partition (10GB). I can install and upgrade packages  without any problem. Only this one is reported as broken.
BTW, when I do

# wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/extra/os/x86_64/libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
# xz -t libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I get :

xz: libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz: Compressed data is corrupt

Same result with the copies I got from other mirrors as well.

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to upgrade libmysqlclient - Corrupted

seems a wget issue (although I have the same error with Firefox). A friend of mine did the above without any problem. Both files have the exact same size but a diff reveal some differences.

Finally found out that the issue comes from WiFi connection (but only on this given package!!). Switching back to copper solved the problem. Man, that is weird considering that wget reports that download is fine.

Alright people I isolated the problem. It was a problem with my Intel wireless driver. I upgraded to a more recent one from AUR (compat-wireless_patched-daily) and problem is fixed. This is crazy!
