Also, could please someone confirm me, that KDE 4.1 freezes when updating? After some package was updated, Plasma went frozen and I had to shutdown the X server and finnish the update from console.
This could be serious. If, for some reason, you are updating something like bash and dependent libraries at the same time, the upgrade could be aborted when bash is updated but dependent libs are not, breaking bash. It's probably not likely, but is a possibility (it did happen to be once a long time ago)
Dunno if I'm being superstitious or not, but I always make sure to not be running an app when pacman goes to update it. (e.g., exit X when updating X or KDE, shut down a daemon like cups or ssh when updating it, dropping to single user mode when updating the kernel, etc.) DR
