Salutations,

Regarding your package database argument; here's the output of pacman -S
libgcrypt :
----

core/libgcrypt 1.5.3-1 [installed: 1.6.0-1]
    General purpose cryptographic library based on the code from GnuPG

Here's the output of pacman -S pth :
----

core/pth 2.0.7-5 [installed]
    The GNU Portable Threads.

Here's my mirrorlist :
