Fuck! I discovered that this error arise because /tmp was full.

  • Field changed: Summary (pacman doesn't install packages which have "_" in their name → Improper error message when /tmp is full)
  • Field changed: Status (Unconfirmed → Assigned)
  • Task assigned to Dan McGee (toofishes), Aaron Griffin (phrakture)
Hmmm, I'm going to keep this around. The reason: The /tmp error should have some output. This should be straightforward to fix, though

I just ran into this issue as well (although both /tmp and / were full).

Debug log attached.
