windows
I know the reason.the windows don't allow the file name have ":"
how about to create core.db, core.files from lots of *.pkg.tar.xz

Re: the packet name became from "-" to ":"

"Windows" is not a file system.  Is it NTFS, FAT-something?  What does Windows use nowadays?

Also, this is not very clear.  Can you describe. in order, exactly what you've done on which OS, and when the error is reported?  You said a '-' gets turned into a ':', but in the error message you report it's just the opposite, the command is looking for a file with a ':' in the name but that doesn't exist as the file has a '-'.  Further, your suspicion that it's because Windows doesn't allow '-' in a filename doesn't add up as there are other '-' symbols in that file name that were not replaced with ':'.

EDIT: the post below helps a little, I think I also misread one part of this.  The colon is not allowed in windows filenames  that could be.

':' denotes the epoch, see the change in mid November: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … ckages/lz4

What do you mean by

I download the core and extra mirror in my computer

, are you running pacman -Syu ? Or do you download it with the browser?
