libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is invalid or corrupted
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I then directly downloaded the package from multiple mirrors such as http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … sqlclient/ and http://mir.archlinux.fr/extra/os/x86_64/
sudo pacman -U ~/Downloads/libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
error: error while reading package /home/alpha/Downloads/libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz: Lzma library error: Corrupted input dataTruncated input file (needed 3589632 bytes, only 0 available)
error: '/home/alpha/Downloads/libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz': libarchive error
Any idea?

Plenty of space on my root partition (10GB). I can install and upgrade packages  without any problem. Only this one is reported as broken.
BTW, when I do
# wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/extra/os/x86_64/libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
# xz -t libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
I get :
xz: libmysqlclient-5.5.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz: Compressed data is corrupt
Same result with the copies I got from other mirrors as well.
