Happened a couple of times now, Pacman -S package freezes right after "looking for inter-conflicts... done.", and I have to do a kill -9 to get rid of it and so far only a reboot solved it.

2.6.21 kernel
i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz GenuineIntel
haven't made any changes to pacman config

attached file with "pacman -S gimmix --debug" output (this is not only a problem with gimmix, happens to all packages)
