When the website update script tries to update the [community] repo for x86_64, these errors occur every time because the packages are built incorrectly (they were renamed but not rebuilt). This also prevents them from appearing in the web interface and future versions of pacman will reject these packages if you try to install them on the wrong architecture.

1. They sound like great candidates for conversion to 'any'.
2. They are quite out of date at this point with the actual texlive packages, which are all on 2009 versions.
This task depends upon

Note how few show up for x86_64:

I think the .pkgs are packaged along with the packages.

It appears that all of them are out of date. Or not? Their sources from ABS are not even existing on the ftp anymore. Anyone knows how this should be dealt with, should them be flagged as "out-of-date"? It looks odd that their sources are updated on the Arch ftp (ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/texlive/) while the packages themselves are not, on both platforms.

I'm going to shoot these, for both architectures, in about a week if nothing else happens. I don't like broken/unmaintained packages in the repos.

I vote for no mercy no wait.
