The problem comes from the community package mirror repository, which is not updating.
Probably a network issue.

Can you access the site ca.us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org on your browser?

What is the list of file mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and /etc/pacman.conf ?

can I access ca.us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/ in my browser? Yes. I can access something all the way down to ca.us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/community. There is no file called community.files shown in that directory. Nor does such a file in any of the mirror directories under https://*.*.mirror.archlinuxarm.org

Since the debtap method of installing FireCapture does not seem to work (at least not for me - still looking for help on that, see above posts), I looked for alternative methods. I found this site which offers a method to "Manually Install DEB Packages on Arch" (method 3). This looks simple enough, but states upfront that this method is "NOT RECOMMENDED". Before I dive down this rabbit-hole, can someone offer an educated opinion as to why this would or would not be worth a try? Thanks.

Steve can you show me what is noted in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file?

Installing manually is not the most recommended method.

The risk is to have software that does not work or a system crash.

The most dangerous is with Dpkg which can cause system corruption on ArchLniux.

# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#
 
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.
