I ran into the same issue. There was an update to the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlst. Once I used the updated mirrorlist, this error went away.

May I please ask how you updated the mirrorlist? I am running into exactly the same issue at the moment.
The only thing I could think of after your post was to run "pacman-mirrors" to get a fresh list of mirrors. Unfortunately, that did not solve the issue.
I'm still getting this:
Code:
[xxx@manjaro-arm pacman.d]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
kde-unstable is up to date
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...

"May I please ask how you updated the mirrorlist? I am running into exactly the same issue at the moment."
When pacman updates the mirrorlist, it will create 2 new files.
(be careful, under Arch rolling release. There are more repositories in the pacman.conf that you will want to keep)
Code:
/etc/pacman.conf.pacnew
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew
Copy them to
/etc/pacman.conf
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Then force an update of pacman
sudo pacman -SyyuRE: Inconsistency in Repos - thatent - 10-21-2021
@mikehenson thanks a lot! I haven't been able to find the "new" package lists, but thanks to your post I just messed around with the mirror lists, updating them a couple of times, and now suddenly the system update seems to run smoothly.
Thanks!
Edit: to be exact, forcing an update with the extra "y" in sudo pacman -Syyu is probably what did the trick for me.

This issue originated from upstream Arch Linux ARM project, see: https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=15608
While this has been fixed (a few hours at the time of this reply), not all mirrors have synced up in time and they all should sync up very soon.

Understood. It's working flawlessly again. Thanks a lot!
