Hi!

This is another issue I noticed today. The output is from -Syyu, so I wonder what range has to do with it, because -yy should download the db file from the beginning, right?

:: Synchronizing package databases... debug: using 'testing.db.tar.gz' for download progress debug: existing file found, using it debug: HTTP_PROXY: (null) debug: http_proxy: (null) debug: FTP_PROXY:  (null) debug: ftp_proxy:  (null) error: failed retrieving file 'testing.db.tar.gz' from dev.archlinux.org : Requested Range Not Satisfiable debug: failed to sync db: Requested Range Not Satisfiable error: failed to update testing (Requested Range Not Satisfiable)

Okay, removing testing.db.tar.gz.part got rid of the error. I think that probably testing.db was updated in the time between the moment I canceled the first -Sy and the moment I run -Syy, but anyway it should have checked file version and redownload the file from the beginning instead of trying to resume download.

FTR, the problem still exists in pacman-git + libfetch.
