Summary and Info:

It's good to ensure the pacman database in a good state, especially after a user installs packages without dependency check. Currently `testdb` does this task, but it doesn't have a man page. Since `testdb` is not a large problem, it should be possible to merge its functionality into main pacman program and define dependency check as an operation there. Currently pacman has `-T` option, but they don't seem to work in the same way.
This task depends upon

We have -D for database operations. So "pacman -D --check" would make sense.

Here's what "pacman -D --check" gives me:

error: invalid option

I think "--check" is listed in man page as a query operation.

I was saying that is the flags that should do testdb - not that it does...
