I just executed this:

cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
for i in s*.zst; do sudo pacman -U $i --noconfirm; done

and reinstalled all packages starting with 's' letter without a problem:)

pacman -U works correctly.

local repositories in pacman.conf breaks packages.


In the second, I have a build script that builds multiple packages, pacman interrupts the script and the chroot cannot update. The packages themselves are intact!
Package in /var/cache/pacman/pkg intact too.
This is an incomprehensible error pacman and his file integrity check.

Also on the main system, when I switched from a remote repository to a local one, the same problem appeared.

Please post some "--debug" output of this failing, and provide details of how you add this repository to your pacman.conf and how the repository was created.

[myrepo]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://127.0.0.1:8000/blbla/

or

[myrepo]
SigLevel = Never
Server = file:///path/blbla/

repo-add "myrepo.db.tar.gz" "package"

And some output of this failing running pacman with "--debug" please. I can not replicate.
