1. We don't support powerpill here, why are you filing this with us and not someone running that project?
2. Please use `pacman` directly and attach your output here if it is a problem with pacman. `pacman --debug` output is also helpful. Obviously run both with whatever arguments are breaking things.

Well, since powerpill is in community, technically it is supported. This bug might be better moved to the community section and assign to Xine (the upstream) . :)

I suspect that this is a user configuration error. Check that /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist exists and is readable.

If it is, pastebin the full output and post a link here:
