Cool, these are good catches. Just a few suggestions.
1. Stop tabbing your commit message
2. do/while is a bit more understandable; can you fix the other two
places we use that construct as well? (lib/libalpm/trans.c,
src/pacman/util.c, one more in lib/libalpm/util.c)

This is not how these error codes are intended to be used; instead
pmerrno_t should be set. However, since this is an internal function
only, we shouldn't be doing this (it should be handled only in a
exposed function that would fail if this particular call failed. Take
a look at the RET_ERR macro for an example.

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the frontend.
