It doesn't.  If you look at the function I mentioned in the previous
email, it only tries the AUR if the core package is not found (or more
precisely, failed to be downloaded for some reason).

However since all the pacman commands are failing because of
`error: failed to update core (unable to lock database)', it tries to
download the package from the AUR.
