Summary and Info:

When I mount /usr read-only and try to remove some packages,
pacman's database in /var gets updated but that's wrong because nothing was really removed...

Steps to Reproduce:

mount -o remount,ro /usr
pacman -R vim
mount -o remount,rw /usr
pacman -S vim (with error because there are files which no longer
belong to a known record in /var/lib/pacman)
This task depends upon

I believe this was fixed with pacman 3 and up, can someone else confirm? I know we had a bug on this a while back...
