Hi Long story short: (before signing new bug i want to be sure) After putting /var/lib/pacman on separate fs (raid1) i just messed things a little and run out of inodes. # fsck.ext2 -pfv /dev/md1 18072 inodes used (100.00%) Most important is what pacman did. So after -Syu packages were updated and no changes in db was made. Most important is that i pacman didn't show any error msg about that. Today i trayed -Syu again i got last time installed packages list added to new one. Pacman showed only packages list and size then just quit w/o any error again. Now I'm trying to repair db and reproduce bug, but i think that quick fix for that is to make small change in pacman that first he will tray to write db entry then packages files to disk. Sorry for my 'bad' English i hope that all catch my drift.
