DetailsThe way that pacman-optimize handles md5sums seems to fail for some people including myself...I'm not quite sure yet why, but the way that the script compares md5sums ends up not working although the contents are the same. I've modified it to use another method, namely:
find $dbroot -type f | sort | xargs md5sum > /tmp/pacsums.old This will give an md5sum of _all_ the files (running time is pretty fast).

This task depends upon
I've added your change for the next pacman release.
To the re-opener: First off, are you using the old pacman-optimize or the new one? The new one is here: http://www.archlinux.org/~judd/fixes/pacman-optimize
