Summary and Info:
pacman-db-upgrade fails with the following error message: root@bplap:~ # LC_ALL=C pacman-db-upgrade /usr/sbin/pacman-db-upgrade: line 367: /usr/sbin/find: Argument list too long the database was not upgraded successfully: # LC_ALL=C pacman -Sy :( error: no usable package repositories configured. Steps to Reproduce: - have pacman 4.1.2-7 installed - install pacman-git 4.1.2.506.g41c8263-1 now you have to upgrade the pacman DB, so: - run pacman-db-upgrade Additional information: I think it's got something to do with too many dirs or files in the db, so here's: # pacman -Qq | wc -l 2241 I also checked if the argument length has an unreasonable short, but this seems ok: # getconf ARG_MAX 2097152 |

That seems unrelated to your pacman-db-upgrade failing.
Edit: if you did not compile with "--sysconfdir=/etc", pacman will be looking elsewhere.
I forgot to restore my original pacman.conf after upgrading to pacman-git,
so a simple 'mv /etc/pacman.conf{.pacsave,}' did the trick.
pacman-db-upgrade still fails, though.
