In a moment of distraction during a pacman -U, while it was doing the conflict checking, I removed the package I was installing from another console. The missing package was correctly detected, but then another error came up, and pacman hung taking the cpu to 100%. Even ctrl-c couldn't stop it, I had to kill it. Here's the log:
[root@paradigm ~]# LANG=en_US pacman -U /home/bardo/packages/amsn-extras-svn/amsn-extras-svn-8414-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz loading package data... done. checking dependencies... done. cleaning up... done. (1/1) checking for file conflicts [####################] 100% error: failed to commit transaction (cannot open package file) error: failed to release transaction (could not commit transaction)
[1]+ Stopped LANG=en_US pacman -U /home/bardo/packages/amsn-extras-svn/amsn-extras-svn-8414-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz [root@paradigm ~]#
How did you get pacman to run twice without it warning about an existing lock file? -Dan
