Last package I was getting error for was gcc-libs. So I removed it from cache. Then I searched the cache for broken packages, as suggested above and found icu package which wasn't completely download i.e. only a .xz.part file, not a .xz file. Removed that and pacman -Syu. It worked. I also have another i686 VM for $DAYJOB(I am not letting some closed source vpn solution take over my desktop network :P ) and it had the same problem. So I checked up the part files there and found qt-4.8.x...part. Removed it and it worked there as well. I am going to reproduce this problem next time by forcefully interrupting a download(if my ISP does not beat me to it already) and file a bug. Thanks for all the help :) -- Regards Shridhar
