[SOLVED] Corrupt Packages

Question

I haven't updated in a few months, and decided to start doing so today. But the package files seem to be consistently corrupted.
checking package integrity...
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
<package name>.pkg.tar.xz is invalid or corrupted
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
This doesn't happen with all packages, but definitely most of the ones I've tried. Particularly those related to xorg, which makes updating a lot of other things impossible. I've tried five separate servers so far, running pacman -Scc and pacman -Sy on each one.

Answer 1

Ran it with -Syy using Server = ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Still no dice.
Edit: Just tried two of the problematic packages (xorg-server and xorg-server-common) on my other Arch machine, and they worked. So I've obviously broken something on this one.
Could it have anything to do with an earlier error of pacman not being able to find liblzma.so.0? I worked around it by linking the .so file to liblzma.so.0, and then updated liblzma/xz, as well as pacman. Not sure what caused the original problem.
