When I'm doing a system upgrade or installing a package and i run makepkg3, it complains for pacman already running and tell that can not do the dependency check or so. Is this a bug or an intended behaviour?
Could you tell us what makepkg3's output was because I think stonecrest mentioned this on IRC and knowing if it is the same thing would be helpful.
here it is:

Did you try doing another pacman operation that locks the DB right after? That would have likely failed too. If you read the message, it indicates that the lock file exists, which happens if pacman is running an operation that requires a locked DB. Try following the instructions given- if you are sure pacman is not running, remove the lock file. If you can duplicate this bug after trying that, be sure to give the exact steps leading up to it. -Dan
