I've just tested -Qqg with the following command, and I got a big segfault (debug.log attached): # LANG=C src/pacman/pacman.static -Rus `src/pacman/pacman.static -Qqg xorg gnome` --debug > debug.log # src/pacman/pacman.static -Qqg xorg gnome xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse xorg-fonts-75dpi xorg-server xorg-xinit xterm gnome-icon-theme gnome-mime-data Bye P.S.: This error appears with current pacman-git, too.
