I maintain a pacman repository and I frequently end up with broken
packages because of this error. I'm surprised this doesn't come up on
Arch Linux's production repositories.

I add the package to the repository with a script that rsyncs up the
tarball and does this:

repo-add -n -R \
    $repo_path/sr.ht.db.tar.gz \
    $repo_path/python-srht-$pkgver-$pkgrel-any.pkg.tar.xz

This error happens maybe 1 in 10 times. Thoughts?
