New pamac's `Refreshing AUR` stage failure cancels a repo's package installation operation of pamac

…and leads to more load of AUR file host server cause of further immediate retry(-ies) in order to get a Manjaro native repo package to be installed.

According to `Refreshing AUR` stage downloads a 9.3 MiB file and eats about 1.5 GiB of RAM memory now pamac install operation eats that much amount of RAM during simple package installation.

pamac --version
Pamac 10.3.0-4  -  libpamac 11.2.0
pacman-mirrors -G
unstable

BTW
If that libpamac 11.2.0 from pamac --version is insufficient info about that dependency, please add package build into into it as you did for the Pamac 10.3.0-4 in it: this simplifies user report and do not waste to other operations like:

 pamac info libpamac | grep 'Ver'   
Version               : 11.2.0-5

Please add it into full output of pamac --version if you need to know it’s -3 / -4 / -5 build number. Otherwise at least it looks like inconsistent output: one item with build number, other one w/o it.

And prior to install nodejs I rebooted PC, so I have running 11.2.0-5 before to install the nodejs package.

Thank you!
