[SOLVED] Error Message: jshon: invalid option -- 'Q'

I'm seeing this message a lot. (Mostly during the boot verbiage.)  I have zero idea what it means--or how to remedy whatever the problem is.  Dr. Google hasn't been too much help so far.   

Any ideas?

Oh, I've done that several times.  No change.

What version of jshon is installed?  The latest is 20110803

Also, what do you mean "during the boot verbiage"?

# pacman -S jshon
warning: jshon-20110306-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

Why is my system considering 20110306 to be "up to date" if the latest is 20110803??

Also, what do you mean "during the boot verbiage"?

Sorry. Imprecise language.  I can never remember what it's called:  The stuff that scrolls by after selecting the OS of choice from the GRUB menu--and before the login prompt.  What *is* that stuff called?   :-\

Pick a fresh mirrorlist from http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ and try again.

Well, that only made all the difference in the world!

I had something like 126 packages update!  (Including jshon.)

Thanks!
