During system upgrade with pacman -Syu, I got internet disruption, and on the next upgrade I got the error from pacman.
It sounds like “HTTP server doesn’t seem to support byte ranges. Cannot resume“:
[simterm]

Actually, we can see that there is a problem with the Clightd/archive/5.6.tar.gz file, so let’s try to find it on your system, where it must be saved in a cache directory:
[simterm]
$ find /home/ -name clightd-5.6.tar.gz* /home/setevoy/.cache/yay/clightd/clightd-5.6.tar.gz.part
[/simterm]
Aha, here it is!
Pay attention to the .part extension on the end of the file’s name – it just wasn’t fully downloaded.
So, to solve the issue, just clean up your local cache:
[simterm]
$ yay -Scc Cache directory: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ :: Do you want to remove ALL files from cache? [y/N] y removing all files from cache... Database directory: /var/lib/pacman/ :: Do you want to remove unused repositories? [Y/n] removing unused sync repositories... Build directory: /home/setevoy/.cache/yay ==> Do you want to remove ALL AUR packages from cache? [Y/n] removing AUR packages from cache...
[/simterm]
And run the upgrade again:
[simterm]
$ yay -Syu --noconfirm
[/simterm]
Done.
