Pacman 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.

Are you running the latest version of pacman (2.7.9)?

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.

# tar c /var/lib/pacman | gzip >pacman-db.tar.gz

Er, nevermind about the version question. I re-read your description and saw that you're up to date.

Ok. Uploaded the db. I also took a look at pacman.log and realised I had been able to install packages with pacman 2.7.9-1...
