Version 0.4 only consists of core and extra. There will be no further community-repository. Just have a look here: https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/

So for sure you'll get an error 404 as there is no file to download.

Re: failed retrieving file 'community.db' returned 404

Better not mixing 0.3.1 and 0.4. I know this is some kind of a problem for sure. But better to look what is installed and which version is getting where. Those error-messages mostly results on about two possible reasons:

1.) You have build your own package, which got another version than we have within stable or testing. Then you have to configure that within your pacman.conf to ignore that concrete package.
2.) You have different sources configured for an installation, resulting between something stable or / and testing. That would result into weird system-behaviour for sure.

To review the space on a partition: Do you need some help?
