Details

Summary and Info:After upgrading to pacman-3.0.4xxx - one of my systems failed on the command: pacman -Q kernel26ck

Output = Ringwraith ~]# pacman -Q kernel26ck
error: package "kernel26ck" not found

But - the ck kernel IS installed:

Ringwraith ~]# uname -a
Linux Ringwraith.atlantis 2.6.20-ck #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Apr 21 15:02:32 IST 2007 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

When I ran pacman with --debug - the following error showed up in the output:

%< cut
debug: opening database 'local'
debug: opening database from path '/var/lib/pacman/local/'
debug: loading package cache for repository 'local'
error: invalid name for database entry 'cedega-4.4'
error: package "kernel26ck" not found
debug: unregistering database 'local'
>% end-cut

When I renamed the 'cedega' entry to 'cedega-4.4-1 - and ran the pacman -Q kernel26ck again - it found the ck kernel. It appears that DB scanning doesn't continue when a broken entry is found.

Steps to Reproduce: Rename any pkg entry in the DB to something similar to my 'cedega' entry above and do a pacman -Q search for a given package in the DB after the error entry.

Fixed in git, setting to "requires testing" until the feature is pushed out.

Can we close this? It is on the main pacman GIT tree.

I think so, can you test it and verify I'm not crazy?

mkdir /var/lib/pacman/extra/blahblahlolwtf

pacman -Ss xyz

Tested and confirmed that it works, although I found another issue in the process. :)
cd /var/lib/pacman/local/<package>/
move desc desc.old
pacman -Qi <package>

Look at those nice repeating errors.
