Pkg not in sync db (problem solved)

What does the subject statement indicate to the user attempting to download a given pkg?
Is it that the pkg is not available for download from arch ?
Is it that the users package base does not include the requested package type?
I have attempted to download the latest kdelibs pkg and received the subject reply.

Sarah;
Pleased to hear from someone on this subject.
Be aware that the time you refer to .."some time" is very indefinite.
I have maintained arch via -Syu daily for all of recent months, at least three.
I have received information from two others experiencing the same problem.
The package in question, at least the two I have identified, are resident in my pacman cache.
I seldom use -S for anything certainly not for upgrades!
I have had two kernel upgrades with no problem.  I have cloned my HDD to another with partimage.  It contains the same problem with kde.
I have installed all upgrades for ...pacman...
From what you state the DB is the pkgs in my /var/cache/pacman/pkgs.  These contain the upgrade kde pkg and...the previous package as well.  This indicates a problem with pacman since attempts to download the subject pkgs separately produces the error ..not in sync database...
Where in the man pacman does it define a time limit as you suggest?
If the answer is not well defined ...such as "some time"..it isn't something to hang my hat on.
Next question...since the pkg is indeed in my computer..was it really loaded into the operating system by pacman?  If not, why not?
