This is similar to what Travis reported, but instead of happening on packages that exist it happens when pacman3 can't find the package in the db. For example:

[~] james->monkeybox : sudo pacman3 -S random_junk --debug=1

Here is some debug output, starting with the output of the not found error message. You may want to get right up to this point and do some work, printing variables and such. Keep in mind you need to run it on a non-static version of pacman; why it doesn't show up in the static linkage I have no idea. -Dan (starts at line 553, src/pacman/sync.c) 553 if(prov) { (gdb) n 563 ERR(NL, _("'%s': not found in sync db\n"), targ); (gdb) s pm_fprintf (file=0xb7e2c560, line=0, fmt=0x80542f8 "error: ") at log.c:114 114 if(neednl == 1 && line == NL) { (gdb) s 108 { (gdb) s 114 if(neednl == 1 && line == NL) { (gdb) s 119 va_start(args, fmt); (gdb) s 120 vsnprintf(str, LOG_STR_LEN, fmt, args); (gdb) s 119 va_start(args, fmt); (gdb) s 120 vsnprintf(str, LOG_STR_LEN, fmt, args); (gdb) s 123 len = strlen(str); (gdb) s 120 vsnprintf(str, LOG_STR_LEN, fmt, args); (gdb) s s123 len = strlen(str); (gdb) s 125 if(needpad == 1 && str[len-1] == '\n') { (gdb) s 131 fprintf(file, str); (gdb) s error: 132 if(needpad == 1) { (gdb) p needpad $1 = 0 (gdb) p len No symbol "len" in current context.
