I've been trying to update Arch, but every time I run
pacman -Syu
I'm met with this:
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
:: Retrieving packages...
Total ( 0/487) 523.0 MiB 73.0 GiB/s 00:00 [####################################################################] 100%
error: could not open file /mnt/usbdrive/paccache/ffmpeg-2:5.0-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.part: Invalid argument
error: failed to setup a download payload for ffmpeg-2:5.0-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
warning: failed to retrieve some files
error: failed to commit transaction (failed to retrieve some files)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I'm also trying to use a flash drive for a temporary pacman cache (as I don't have 1.8 GiB free on my Arch partition...oopsies) if that helps

What file system is the USB stick using? Is it by any chance some FAT? The error seems to be caused by an attempt to open a file with a colon in its name. It’s not permitted to have a colon in FAT file names.
Sometimes I seem a bit harsh — don’t get offended too easily!

Yeep, exFAT. Will try using another drive with EXT instead. thanks
