installing a package with "pacman -U URL" fails. Downloading with "wget -q URL" and installing the file with "pacman -U" works.
Unless I'm mistaken, pacman uses curl by default (unless XferCommand is set) (or more precisely, libcurl.so), so it may be worth trying to fetch that file with curl instead of wget (for further troubleshooting). That being said, for me, pacman/curl downloads that file just fine, so I'm not sure whether the choice of curl/wget is the only notable factor. Best, Tinu
