Hello,

i found an error in pacman 3.3.0:

If you execute pacman as ordinary user (with sudo) and don't have ldconfig in your PATH pacman can't find ldconfig...

Outputs after upgrade to 3.3.0:

$ sudo pacman -S swat resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...

Attached patch fixes this...

I always had /sbin in the PATH so never caught this (and this is set in /etc/profile by default). I suppose we cannot assume that? Anyway, the code was quite funny, it checked for /sbin/ldconfig but then executed ldconfig. So your patch looks good to me. Pushed to my git tree. Thanks :)

Woo! Thanks everyone, the source should be hitting your favorite mirror or here (ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/pacman/) soon.

Shouldn't it be announced on archlinux.org main page too?

Meh. We've had a lot of front page news lately, so I didn't really care either way. If someone really wants to write something up, go ahead, but I didn't really care either way. -Dan
