I'm using pacman 2.9.8-1

this seems to be a problem related to libnss_dns *part of glibc 2.4+). i will try to reproduce the backtrace i've got last time on my home machine before i replaced the ram modules out of over caution.

Hey, I got the same error but as my backtrace is different, I thought it might be helpful for you guys.

Allthough, it's strange to note that we both had this problem after trying 'archlinux.antesis.org'.

Just my two cent.

This is the antesis mirror. I don't know the exacts really, but antesis is broken. It has been removed from the pacman 3 server lists, and should probably be removed from user's machines as well.

Either way, pacman 3 fails gracefully on antesis, so I'll close this.
