Bug description

When installing through BlackArch package groups after suffering from #4159, I've found that there still some package installation issues.

For example, I tried pacman -Syu blackarch-misc --overwrite='*' --needed but I got multiple package corrupted. And after investigating with --debug flag, I found things like these:

debug: found cached pkg: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/valabind-1.8.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
debug: replacing pkgcache entry with package file for target valabind
debug: opening archive /var/cache/pacman/pkg/valabind-1.8.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
debug: starting package load for /var/cache/pacman/pkg/valabind-1.8.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
debug: found mtree for package /var/cache/pacman/pkg/valabind-1.8.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst, getting file list
debug: finished mtree reading for /var/cache/pacman/pkg/valabind-1.8.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
debug: sorting package filelist for /var/cache/pacman/pkg/valabind-1.8.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
debug: internal package groups mismatch

I guess its conflict with upstream Arch Linux repository, and found the package in Arch Linux repository. Removing them might fix but requires further configuration to package groups.

For now I cannot provide full list of conflicts, maybe I could do it later as long as I'm free.

Steps to reproduce

• Do sudo pacman -S blackarch-misc on the top of arch install. (Issue might not be reproducible on ISO install.)
• Confirm the operation
• See the bug

Actual result:

error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)

Expected result:

:: Processing package changes...

Screenshots

N/A. Text should be enough.

Info for developers

Device: Hasee TX6-CU5DS with 16GB memory.
GNU/Linux distribution: Arch Linux
Tool version: valabind-1.8.0-4, one of the conflicts.

Link to debug log

They can't even be correctly installed. No log available.

pacman -Syu blackarch-misc --overwrite='*' --needed

Please don't try to install groups, yes there are broken packages, so installing batch of hundreds at once will most often result in errors.

We don't have a valabind package, blackarch/valabind is a symlink to extra/valabind.

It's weird installing pacman -S blackarch/valabind have a corruption issue. @noptrix #4317 had the same issue, it may be generalized, is there a change in some way that would need a rebuild?
