Hi everyone, I was trying to update my machine and it didn’t work, I got this message:
joser @ JERO1 ~] $ sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for joser:

core is up to date

... the system is already up to date.
I though I could use -Syyu to fix the “community” file but it didn’t work:

There were many more “… error: could not read database ‘community’ (Damaged tar archive)” but I didn’t want to paste all that.
What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks for the help in advance ^_^!.
PS: The logs were translated with google chrome from spanish to english for practical reassons.
