[arch-general] pacman caches packages with u=rw, g=, o= permissions

   Are you invoking pacman in an unattended manner in a systemd timer? 
If yes, you probably have another problem. I suppose you mean calling 
`pacman -Sywu`. That puts your system into a potential partial upgrade 
scenario and makes your local package versions desynced from from the 
sync database contains.

   If your goal is to download packages to cache, see the `checkupdates` 
command from package community/pacman-contrib⁽¹⁾. `checkupdates -d` is 
doing exactly what you want, but without leading to a partial upgrade.
