pacman -U will happily install a package with a version with no release but then can't read the resulting db entry because it requires the directory to include the release number.

Steps to Reproduce:

pkgname = test
pkgver = 1
PKGINFO

bsdtar -cf test.pkg.tar .PKGINFO
sudo pacman -U test.pkg.tar
pacman -Qi test

I would have assumed the arch field was needed too.

Confirming what is minimally required currently and checking for that in upgrade operations is a good idea!

  • Field changed: Due in Version (Undecided → 4.2.0)
Targeted for 4.2.0. If this is a nicely self contained patch, we can look at 4.1.x.
