Affected Version

Tested:
yay v11.1.0 - libalpm v13.0.1
yay v11.1.0.r4.g09695c6 - libalpm v13.0.1
The issue likely goes back for many versions.

Describe the bug

If you attempt to install an AUR devel package and it fails for whatever reason, the package still gets added to vcs.json. This means that the git repository for the package will be checked on any system upgrade with

$ pikaur -Vq
Pikaur v1.10.1.r66.g7cc87b9
Pacman v6.0.1 - libalpm v13.0.1 - pyalpm v0.10.6

Description:

pikaur's autocompletion for the zsh suggests non-package files for the -U option.

pacman suggests these files:

~/src/xorg-server $  sudo pacman -U xorg-server-<Tab key was pressed here>
completing package file
xorg-server-21.1.3-6.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst   

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Files stored in /var/log are usually temporary, for pacstall however, it's not. When I was cleaning my system with bleachbit, it automatically deleted /var/log/pacstall/metadata which causes pacstall to not recognize any installed pacstall programs.

Describe the solution you'd like
Move /var/log/pacstall/metadata to

It would be very helpful to be able to list all packages managed by rua, and list what's the currently installed version, as well as whether there is a newer verson available.
