[SOLVED] Non-actual local repository

Hi, I had kernel.org as a main mirror and since it was down, pacman -Syu showed some error while downloading packages. So I stopped actualization, commented kernel.org (I have few other mirrors) and ran pacman -Syu again. Everything worked, system actualized normally but now, every time I run pacman -Syu, even if the system is actual (and I actualized it few seconds ago), it downloads package list from core, extra and community. It is hard to explain, but I show you example:

[garret@sol ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 catalyst is up to date
 core                                                                                         53.5K    2.5M/s 00:00:00 [#######################################################################] 100%
 extra                                                                                       779.9K    3.4M/s 00:00:00 [#######################################################################] 100%
 community                                                                                   453.9K    2.7M/s 00:00:00 [#######################################################################] 100%
 archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
[garret@sol ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 catalyst is up to date
 core                                                                                         53.5K    2.4M/s 00:00:00 [#######################################################################] 100%
 extra                                                                                       779.9K    4.6M/s 00:00:00 [#######################################################################] 100%
 community                                                                                   453.9K    3.2M/s 00:00:00 [#######################################################################] 100%
 archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
[garret@sol ~]$ 

So every time I run pacman -Syu, it downloads new package list from core, extra and community even if the local package list is actual. It is working, but it's little bit confusing. Does anybody know what to do with it?

Re: [SOLVED] Non-actual local repository

Does it happen for all mirrors?
Try

Server = http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

Re: [SOLVED] Non-actual local repository

No, I tried some german mirror and it works without problem. So I think that it is problem on czech vpsfree mirror. Marking it as solved and patiently waiting for kernel.org to be up and running.
