Details

When using local repository,
#pacman -S pkgname
gives an error message saying the packages are corrupted when one has the local packages in pacman's cache.

#pacman -Sv pkgname
however states , these packages are already in cache.
it is maybe better to let pacman report this too when using it
without -v (and maybe eve say: clean cache with pacman -Sc)
This task depends upon

Packages enter the cache as soon as they are downloaded. Then they are checked for integrity. This makes sense, since a package could still conceivably be corrupted while in the local cache.
