Today pacman didn't behave the way I expected so I asked a question on the arch linux newbie list (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1683611) and got the basic question answered. But the other question was a request for links to "understand how pacman works".
I've done some searching and really didn't find what I was looking for, I'm a programmer so I'm looking for an "architectural document", is there such a thing? The README file in the sources doesn't go into much as detail as I was looking for, so is there anything more? Or maybe it just "Read the sources".

The man pages cover the vast majority of it, including your question on the forums.
