Currently, if makepkg needs to run pacman while pacman is running, and error message is issued and makepkg closes.

Makepkg should -- at least have an option to -- wait for pacman to close before continuing.

Here is a little patch to implement this.

A couple of points:
- /var/lib/pacman should not be hardcoded as this can be changed in pacman.conf.
- this blocks all pacman operations while a lock file is present, but most can still run.
