Details

Description:
When setting a custom XferCommand, one that can resume downloads even, pacman redownloads (from the start, entirely) all packages that are already fully downloaded in the cache.

This would seem to be happening because the internal downloader fetches the *.sig file, while XferCommand doesn't do that. (?)


Package version: pacman 6.0.1-5

Steps to reproduce:
Set a custom XferCommand, I used /usr/bin/curl -L -C - -f -o %o %u
Run pacman -Syu --downloadonly (you need to have some updates pending for this to work)
Run it again and see it redownload all the packages it downloaded previously. (can be repeated ad infinitum)

This task depends upon
