[BUG FILED] pacman 6 breaks cache sharing over LAN

I've been sharing my pacman cache using darkhttpd for a few years with great success. I think it's failing when a signature can't be found on the "server". I suspect the recent update to pacman 6 has broken this.

I think (but might misremember) that pacman used to try another server, but this no longer seems to happen. Is there any workaround, is this a bug, or just the way that pacman should work now?

$ sudo pacman -S gspell

In both cases, removing my local "server" cache as a mirror fixed the issue.

Re: [BUG FILED] pacman 6 breaks cache sharing over LAN

I think the new codepath to download signatures has no fallback to alternative mirrors, it is restricted to the mirror used for the package.
There is no specific bug report, but I mentioned it here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/71148
