Great, it works for me. First I updated the system as usual, then I added the following in the mirrorlist:
``` Server = https://repomirror.parabola.nu/$repo/os/$arch ``` And I updated again. 4 packages were outdated. pacman scanned through the mirrorlist to find the first mirror that had the correct version of the package. So after some 404s, all the packages were found and the system updated correctly. Cheers.
