I am not sure about the testing/pacman as well since I encountered crashing of

pacman-3.5.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

when the network connection is not available and when network connection stalls.

I am force to downgrade to

pacman-3.5.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Trying pacman -S midori --debug didn't help me identifying the cause of core dump. So I can only report to Arch Linux community to see if some can guide me to debug this issue, which I feel is critical since pacman is the critical package manager for ArchLinux.

I did a full pacman -Syu (testing version in pacman.conf) on the 9th June 2011.
This task depends upon

This is a very unhelpful bug report. No useful title, no proper log or errors. Anyway, the problem is probably  FS#24615  so this is likely a duplicate.

It may also be related to the following problem

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24648

since it is mentioned in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24615 as a glibc problem
(as I did a full testing upgrade).

However, just to point out some phenomena for comparison: pacman 3.5.2-1 works, older versions of gtk3 and glib2 seem to work for my firefox (with no crash).

Dear Sven-Hendrik Haase,

Sorry for a lousy report. But I have tried installed pacman-3.5.3-1 on my ArchLinux stable. No core dump happen. So it should be the glibc you mentioned. The glibc also caused my firefox to core dump. I reported with a wrong observation in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24648. My appology to you.

I have attached stable.txt and testing.txt to indicate that runnning pacman-3.5.3-1 on the stable ArchLinux has no core dump, but on testing ArchLinux, the glibc-2.14 is causing a lot of problem, not only pacman crashed, but also firefox, midori crashed.

May be the message here can be merged to some other task. Thanks!

This is almost definitely the glibc issue so I will close as a duplicate.
