Description:
Pacman just gives information about the existing of one or more broken packages when a system upgrade is done by "pacman -Syu". But there is information about which package(s) are broken.

Additional info:
Pacman v4.0.2 - libalpm v7.0.2

German info shown by pacman:
(446/446) Überprüfe Paket-Integrität [##############################################] 100%
Fehler: Konnte den Vorgang nicht durchführen (Ungültiges oder beschädigtes Paket)
Fehler sind aufgetreten, keine Pakete wurden aktualisiert.

Steps to reproduce:
- Just start a full system upgrade using pacman
- You may modify a package on your own to see the message about broken packages
This task depends upon

Run 'LC_ALL=C <command>' to get output in English.

It looks a bit like  FS#26764 .

Does 'pacman -Syu --debug' give more info?

Sry, I have already solved the problem by manually deleting the broken packages and redownloading via http. Therefore, I can't reproduce the error at the moment.
The debug-mode doesn't give more info, nope.
The problem is, that pacman doesn't give any information about the broken packages (e.g. which are broken), but that there are broken ones. You can just manually figure out, which are broken by looking in /var/cache/pacman/pkg after .part-files.
