Description:
The ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/ seems to be incorrectly syncing, as it uses (mostly) up-to-date mirrors, but doesn't have up-to-date packages.

For example, its `core.db` states that the mirror has `gnutls=3.7.5-2`, yet actually downloading said package shows that the mirror doesn't actually have the package.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set `http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/$arch/` as only mirror in `/etc/pacman.conf/mirrorlist`
2. Force refresh package db's (pacman -Syy)
3. Remove `gnutls-3.7.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst` from pacman package cache if already installed
4. Attempt to (re-)install `gnutls` (pacman -S gnutls)
5. `pacman` throws "error: failed retrieving file 'gnutls-3.7.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from ftp.hosteurope.de : The requested URL returned error: 404"
This task depends upon

Attempting to directly get the package via `curl` shows that the package does not exist on the mirror, in spite of the mirror's `core.db` having gnutls=3.7.5-2.

Additionally, `curl`ing ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/x86_64/ shows that a symlink to the file exists, yet the package doesn't actually appear to exist.
