Are you using FTP mirrors? I think you're conflating issues. pacman _does_ do this.

No response, so I will assume this is the same as  FS#28014

Hello! Sorry for the late reply. This bug just appeared again. It is NOT a duplicate of the above one. Please check the attached console log. It is in german though :-(

use "LC_ALL=C" and pacman's --debug flag if you're going to post output. Please don't involve third party tools.

This looks an awful lot like what I'm suspecting in my original reply, but we can't do anything with the output you've provided.

i found out more details. when the download fails for some reason e.g.

gphoto2-2.4.14-1-x86_64 44,7 MiB 708K/s 01:05 [#####################################################################################] 57%
Fehler: Konnte Datei 'gphoto2-2.4.14-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' nicht von ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de übertragen : FTP response timeout
Fehler: Konnte Datei 'gphoto2-2.4.14-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' nicht von ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de übertragen : Maximum file size exceeded

then the .part file is still around:

$ ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
...
gphoto2-2.4.14-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.part
...

now pacman fails:
$ pacman -Su
...
(25/25) Überprüfe Paket-Integrität [#####################################################################################] 100%
Fehler: Konnte den Vorgang nicht durchführen (Ungültiges oder beschädigtes Paket) -> error broken package
Fehler sind aufgetreten, keine Pakete wurden aktualisiert. -> error no packages were upgarded

doing this:
$ sudo rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gphoto2-2.4.14-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.part

fixes the problem.

I implore you: please use "LC_ALL=C" and pacman's --debug flag if you're going to post output.

Simple fix: stop using FTP servers.
