Details

I decided to upgrade my sytem. So I typed pacman -Syu. It downloaded packages but at the end I had :

checking package integrity... done.
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)

I assume that some downloaded file didn't pass the integrity check. But there is no way to know which package is misdownloaded and I have to delete the complete package cache in order to force pacman to redownload all packages (even those which were correctly downloaded).

Note that I'm using the new pacman 3.0
This task depends upon

Was abiword involved during this operation? If so, we fixed that problem earlier today.

It would help more if you post or attach the full output instead of just a snippit.

Yes, it involves abiword. Sorry for filling a bug that was already known. But I still think that pacman should tell which package failed the check because it already happened me before to have failed downloads and having to remove the package that was not correctly downloaded. (I knew which one it was, it was the only one that was downloaded beyond 100%).
At least show this informtion in verbose mode

The full output:

Yes, I agree the error message could be a bit more verbose- I know in other cases it is, odd that in this one it is not.
Comment by Allan McRae (Allan) - Sunday, 23 December 2007, 05:16 GMT
I think this is fixed now as you now get queried for each corrupted package found.
