Details

When a package is broken pacman could prompt you to delete it, so you don't have to type:
rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/package-X.X.X-X.pkg.tar.gz
for each broken dependency.

If pacman already has this featury it should be set on by default.
This task depends upon

Implemented with the corrupted package notice in pacman3, I believe. Pacman now prompts you to remove corrupted package in the package cache, and then will install successfully the next time around. Can someone confirm that this is what the bug references?

Yes, this is what the bug references.
