Description: Today I tried to install something and it said the package was corrupted, and asked it it should delete the package. I chose yes, and tried again and it said the same thing. Then I tried a different mirror, same thing. Then I tried installing loads of other stuff and it said all the packages were corrupted. Then I tried "pacman -Scc" and "pacman -Syy" and it still didn't work. Then I logged out and in again and now when I try to install something it always says "error: 'package': not found in sync db"

Additional info:
Pacman v3.3.0 - libalpm v4.0.0
/var/log/pacman.log has nothing interresting in it.
This task depends upon
