Getting error with pacman -Syu

yesterday after stable update no problem but this morning (I’m in Asia last three weeks) I’m getting an error:

LC_ALL=C sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
error: could not parse package description file 'haskell-ghc-check-0.5.0.8-44/desc' from db 'extra'
 there is nothing to do

mirror is synchronized

## Country : Global
Server = https://mirrors.cicku.me/manjaro/stable/$repo/$arch

You only have one mirror? I suggest at least 5.

To solve it enter

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyuu

Afterwards reboot. The second u just ensures a potential downgrade is executed in case a local version is newer than the repo version.

fixed with

LC_ALL=C sudo pacman -Syyuu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core                                  140.9 KiB   498 KiB/s 00:00 [------------------------------------] 100%
 extra                                   8.4 MiB  8.33 MiB/s 00:01 [------------------------------------] 100%
 multilib                              145.4 KiB   553 KiB/s 00:00 [------------------------------------] 100%

 there is nothing to do
LC_ALL=C sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...

 there is nothing to do

simply doing pacman -Syyu was not solving

no, I have many, that is the first
