[useless, SOLVED] Pacman shows package corrupted while upgrading

Question

I pacman -Syu'ed my system after a week & there was these error of cyclic dependancy while installing gcc package. So, I issued this command:
sudo pacman -S gcc gcc-libs gcc-ada gcc-fortran gcc-objc libtool
While instaling, it showed that gcc's package is corrupted.
But, later I tried installing it using
sudo pacman -U gcc-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-libs-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-ada-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-fortran-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-objc-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libtool-2.4
and it installed correctly.
It seems like local repo had the wrong md5 of the gcc package. How come?

I was successful in installing that same package if I used -U option. Thats some serious bug in pacman which should be looked into.
Please tell me as to what more info should I provide to be of more help.
