So...   this is a feature and not a bug.  Sort of.

After this patch, the .sig file ends up in the first cache and the
package file in the second.  If the signature file is not in the package
database, pacman looks alongside the package to find the signature file
and fails.

Without this patch, databases without signatures work.


Either, the .sig file needs downloaded into the secondary cache
directory alongside the package, or the package directly copied into
first cache directory.
