error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
if you're sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck.
"

The last period almost appears to be part of the filename, but more to the point: I can't double-click then middle click to paste it, because the double-click selection includes the trailing period too. 8) Please remove the last period

"Ok, let's spend 30 seconds to write this trivial patch"
"wtf, this code is duplicated in 3 places, I can't patch the same stupid thing 3 times..."

So instead of 30 seconds, I spent at least 30 minutes. And instead of
1 file changed, 1 insertion, 1 deletion (well, x3 since this code turned out to be there 3 times)
I have :
5 files changed, 53 insertions(+), 85 deletions(-)
