It happened to me before, but it was due to corrupted db by pacman2 or one of early pacman3 versions.
Can you reproduce it after this?: rm -rf /var/pacman/lib/{current,extra} pacman -Sy
I guess you mean /var/lib/pacman/.... ?
Is it safe to delete all directories within that dir? I will make a copy and try it out...
Yes, /var/lib/pacman. No, it's not safe do delete _all_ directories there. DO NOT delete /var/lib/pacman/local !!!
Ok, still the same issue:
[root@laptop pacman]# pacman -S twisted resolving dependencies... done. looking for inter-conflicts... done.

[root@laptop pacman]# pacman -Rscn twisted checking dependencies... done.

Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n]
(1/3) removing twisted [###########################################################################################] 100%
It's not working, I can only reinstall all these packages and then remove them one by one:
pacman -R twisted pacman -R zope-interface pacman -R pycrypto
I think this was fixed in CVS? Can you confirm, Aaron? But according to the logs, this was fixed in RC2. (lib/libalpm/deps.c) * Fixed an error with 'cascade' removal due to creation of a new pmpkg_t struct (and thus not copying pertinent data w.r.t. reading package files) And guys, when you tell us a bug- PLEASE tell us what version you are using as best you can. RC1, RC2, CVS compiled on this date,etc. -Dan
