This is the first time in around 10 years of running Arch this has happened, has some thing changed in pacman that I missed?
This seems weird, what mirror are you using? Maybe the mirror is broken and you need to update your mirrorlist. P.S. STOP using -Syyuu, since the double y tells pacman to force download databases even when the server says there is no update, and the double u tells pacman to downgrade any packages the server claims are old. If you used a plain old -Syu, then you would almost certainly see five days worth of "[repository] is already up to date", which would be a definite red flag that something is wrong. Now that you used -Syyuu, we have no idea whether your pacman installation refreshed the databases because the server said they needed to be refreshed or because you told pacman to ignore the freshness. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
