Do not continuously try to open an invalid database
If you manage to download a bad database (e.g. an html file when behind a proxy or with a badly configured webserver), pacman makes sure you know about it. Here is some example output: error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format I don't know how many times that gets printed because it goes beyond my scrollback buffer. Flag a database that we can "open" and "fstat" but not read from as invalid to avoid this. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
