For some reason I cannot install form the local repository in /va/cache/pacman/pkg for the life of me!
Every time I try and install something, like KDE-mod it constantly tries to connect to the internet and download the pacage although it is in /var/cache/pacman/pkg:
[root@carley carley]# pacman -S kdemod-complete
:: group kdemod-complete:
kdemod-arts kdemod-kde-common kdemod-kdeaccessibility kdemod-kdeaddons-base
kdemod-kdeaddons-knewsticker-scripts kdemod-kdeaddons-ksig

pacman keeps trying to connect to the internet to install!
Is there an option I should pass to force it to install from the local cache?
I can install with pacman -U /package but this will take ages for all the kde-mod packages.

pacman should automatically use the packages in the cache unless they are older than the ones in the repo.

The packages in the cache is up to date, of that I'm 100% sure.

Could you paste the above pacman output with --debug flag ?
And also maybe output of ls -l /var/cache/pacman/pkg
