I have been getting this for a few days, now. I can update my armv7l and aarch64, but not armv6l. Is there something down with armv6 or has my install become corrupted? I see this on multiple RPis of the armv6 flavor. I've tried local mirrors as well as the general one and get the same result.

versus this on armv7

when I do a verbose run of pacman on the armv6, it shows nothing strange:
