which glibc version?
Comment by Dave Reisner (falconindy) - Friday, 01 July 2011, 14:39 GMT
Two things:

1) Please try to replicate this on a filesystem that isn't btrfs.
2) pacman has its own project category.

Running pacman again tonight in btrfs not yet segfault, will try on ext4 in a hour

Ignore the above. We've seen this bug before -- it's related to libfetch. We're not fixing it, given that the next release of pacman won't use libfetch.
Comment by Dan McGee (toofishes) - Friday, 01 July 2011, 14:48 GMT
This is the same as  FS#23750 , with a segfault in libfetch, fetch_cache_put(). It has been reported upstream to no avail, unfortunately, and we are switching to libcurl in the next version of pacman.
