I'm occasionally/periodically seeing a redirect loop on the following URL:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/justkidding:/arch/Arch/x86_64/home_justkidding_arch_Arch.db
This is an Opensuse build system user's personal Arch Linux package repo. Here
is a log where I run into the issue when using pacman to update the database
and upgrade packages. Using curl to examine the loop.
```
