[arch] Installing Large Packages with Pacman

[Slash]

Hello,

I recently adopted the nwn-diamond package on the AUR to clean it up
and update it to the latest version of Neverwinter Nights. However,
I'm running into problems installing the built package (both built
from the original PKGBUILD and the updated version by myself). The
built package is 2.5G and I'm guessing that has something to do with
it. Has anyone had problems installing packages that big?

* My system & pacman are fully up to date.
* I can query the package for information using pacman -Qliip <package-file>
* pacman -A and pacman -U yield the same results
* Filesystem is XFS
* Between the many large game packages I maintained and/or have used
over the years, I'm pretty sure some of them have been this large and
they have all installed fine before- But that was pacman2. Is is
possible this problem could be related to pacman3?


[root at vidar nwn-diamond]# ls -lah nwn-diamond-1.68-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.5G 2007-07-01 20:14 nwn-diamond-1.68-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

[root at vidar nwn-diamond]# pacman -U nwn-diamond-1.68-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
loading package data...

error: failed to add target 'nwn-diamond-1.68-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz'
(could not find or read file)


Any ideas?

Thanks,
