If the server has a package file that is too big (does not match the
recorded file size in repository db file) pacman fails with a 'filesize
exceeded' message. This is misleading as it looks like pacman is
suffering a local problem, for example ulimit on filesize or the like.

This changes the message to 'partial file', which describes the problem
a lot better IMHO.
