pkgman does not remove failed downloads on checksum errors, blocking updates

[grexe]

When - for whatever reason - a pkgman update fails due to some download errors, giving me a "bad checksum" error (same in SoftwareUpdater oc), I am stuck:

I cannot re-download the failed packages since the failed ones are still cached.

Instead, I have to manually clean up the failed transaction in Terminal, which is not obvious and also not user friendly [1]:

rm -rf /system/packages/administrative/transaction-*

Pkgman needs to remove failed transactions on its own or at least provide an option to cleanup transactions, and to force re-downloading packages.

sorry got the wrong component - didn't find anything for pkgman, maybe file systems/packagefs?
