Everyone, The commits Allan wrote and I just pushed change the local database format. depends no longer exists; everything is now in desc. Provided in the code is a 'pacman-db-upgrade' script to help you guys out if you upgrade, so be sure to run it if running pacman-git. -Dan On Sun, Dec 12, 2010 at 10:03 PM, Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org> wrote:

Add script to update pacman database format
The pacman-db-upgrade script was added to detect old pacman database formats and upgrade them.
Currently performs the merging of depends files into desc files in the local database.

Merge desc and depends files in local db
Whenever depends is needed from the local db, so is desc. The only disadvantage to merging them is the additional time taken to read the depends entries when they are not needed. As depends is in general relatively small, the additional time taken to read it in will be negligable. Also, merging these files will speed up local database access due to less file seeks.
