[SOLVED] invalid or corrupted package

Hello archers,

I have had invalid or corrupted package in the past, but it was always assigned to one package. This time around I have 294 packages to update and an invalid or corrupted package error, but no hint which of those nearly 300 causes the problem...

Is there an easy way to figure out which package causes this problem? I do not want to clear the cache, because I use a shared package cache and deliberately keep old versions around, as this helped me out of dire situations a couple of times.

Here is my pacman output:

sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronising package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace procps with core/procps-ng? [Y/n] 
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Re: [SOLVED] invalid or corrupted package

Generaly the corrupts packages can by removed using a pacman -Sc (obvious you lost you cache but this is the only know form, since pacman not show the corrupted package *cof**cof devels*)

try to clean your package cache pacman -Sc antry again

Re: [SOLVED] invalid or corrupted package

sudo pacman -Syu --debug saved the day, thanks Allen!

debug: checking sha256sum for /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xfsprogs-3.1.8-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
debug: returning error 33 from check_validity : invalid or corrupted package
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I wonder why this rather usefull information is not available without debug. Should I file a feature request or something?

The above bug is concerned with being unable to know why a specific package failed (signing issue vs transmission corruption issue)
My problem here is that pacman does not tell me WHICH package produces the error.

Re: [SOLVED] invalid or corrupted package

I know it's not the same, but a prompt like this:

:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libreoffice-common-3.4.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (checksum)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]

might help.
