[SOLVED] Pacman error, no clue how to handle it

As of today I'm getting a "Maximum file size exceeded" error for a php73 package. Bellow is the relevant section from pacman's output with --debug:

:: Retrieving packages...
 php73-cli-7.3.33-10-x86_64 downloading...

I don't have that php package in pacman's cache.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman error, no clue how to handle it

I've downloaded that file manually and I can see it's actually larger by 10 bytes than the size from the --debug output, so my guess is there's an issue with the size being reported by the mirror offering the package.
Is there any way I can get past this and perform the upgrade?

Further more: found pacman's -U option, so I've manually installed that package. Guess what? The next one also has the same issue. Looks to me like someone at opensuse messed up big time. Any way I can tell pacman to ignore the sizes reported by the mirror?

That isn't a mirror it is an unofficial user / third-party repository, and not even one listed in our wiki.  What is that repo for?

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman error, no clue how to handle it

mdcclxv:
While using third party repositories, please indicate that. It would really save me a bit of time, before I realized the problem is not with Arch repos.

The repository contains invalid information. In “home_el_archphp_Arch.db/php73-cli-7.3.33-10/desc”:

%CSIZE%
1853552

As you yourself have noticed, the actual size is different.

Contact the repository maintainer, so they could solve the problem. Meanwhile you may use -U as a temporary workaround.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman error, no clue how to handle it

My apologies, I completely forgot I added that repo by myself, it was more than an year ago. I used it to install php 7.3 as I need it for a legacy project.

I scripted those packages to manually download & install them.

Many thanks for your time.
