So as discussed on IRC, the %CSIZE% in the database desc file for one
package was 1110220 while the package file itself had a size of 1110240

Adding --blocking-io to the rsync call https://builds.sr.ht/job/361 has
caused this to start working at least 1 in 1 times. :D

Which I think is a reasonable explanation for what happened. Report back
if it keeps happening though.
