[resolved] 404 error trying to retrieve world/perl-xml-sax 1.02-1.1

I started getting the error, and ended up removing world/foomatic-db-engine and removing all unneded dependencies.  Then after a clean "pacman -Syu" I tried "pacman -S foomatic-db-engine" which got world/foomatic-db-engine 4:20220521-1 which requires world/perl-xml-sax 1.02-1.1 which fails to fetch from any mirror (at least 5 tried) with a 404 not found.  All other perl-xml-... packages are 1.09, and I don't see a perl-xml-sax at all.  I wonder if the dependencies listed for foomatic-db-engine need to be updated?

Yes, I get the same result, and apparently had it installed previously, but it still fails to fetch for me now.

However, you reminded me to check, and as it was still in my cache, I was able to use "pacman -U".  It still smells like there is something wrong.

OK - new question.  If it was in my cache, why was pacman trying  to download it?  I suppose I can uninstall foomatic-db-engine and perl-xml-sax and try again to see what happens.

I don't understand exactly what was changed, but someone fixed the package today (about 6 hours ago) so thanks to that person.
