DetailsPacman 2.7.9-1 segfaults when trying to do pacman -S or pacman -Ss. Sometimes /tmp/pacman.lck has to removed before using pacman again (I can't reproduce this 100%).
(gdb) run -S xfig Starting program: /usr/bin/pacman -S xfig warning: shared library handler failed to enable breakpoint Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x08052a81 in ?? () (gdb) run -S xfig The program being debugged has been started already. Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y Starting program: /usr/bin/pacman -S xfig warning: shared library handler failed to enable breakpoint error: unable to lock pacman database. if you're sure pacman is not already running, you can remove /tmp/pacman.lck Program exited with code 040.

If so, please tar up your pacman database and send it to me. If it's too large to attach to this bug (or to an email), then we can work out another delivery method.
