[arch-general] What is a pacman "download library error"?

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

installing a package with "pacman -U URL" fails.
Downloading with "wget -q URL" and installing the file with "pacman -U"
works.




[rocketmouse at archlinux tmp]$ sudo pacman -U https://mex.mirror.pkgbuild.com/community-testing/os/x86_64/lxpanel-0.10.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

The issue doesn't happen for another package, from another server.
