Details

Pacman version: 6.0.1-2-x86_64

The Total package download percentage can become significantly more than 100%.
In the output snippet below it is 329% and increasing.

vim-runtime-8.2.3441-1-x86_64 is up to date
vim-8.2.3441-1-x86_64 is up to date
virtualbox-host-dkms-6.1.28-2-x86_64 708.6 KiB 118 KiB/s 00:06 [#######################################] 100%
virtualbox-6.1.28-2-x86_64 26.5 MiB 49.7 KiB/s 03:01 [#############################----------] 75%
Total (519/534) 565.4 MiB 49.7 KiB/s --:-- [#######################################] 329%

This observation contradicts my expectation that the total percentage represents a fraction of two sizes approaching 1 = 100% from below.

Perhaps that is related to some packages having been downloaded already but not installed yet.
This task depends upon

Is this reproducible? Can you get the full output with --dubug?

Do you have multiple cache directories?
Comment by Christian Cornelssen (ccorn) - Friday, 22 October 2021, 05:30 GMT
@andrewgregory: Yes, I have a custom repo dir added as a CacheDir, as described for the [aurutils]:

Set that repo to "SigLevel = Never", or sign the packages in that repo. Then the issue will disappear.

Today I observed some behavior that would lead to a total % over 100:

With an unstable internet connection that would occasionally drop to a speed of 0 it would try another mirror and reset the part percentage and downloaded MiB but would not reset total % nor total downloaded MiB which if it was successful would ultimately lead to a total % > 100.
Due to it ultimately exhausting the list of mirrors it would not ever actually go above for me though.
