Hey alltogether Unfortunatelly I ran into some really strange pacman problem. While performing an normal system update, my computer froze (due to some incorrect overclocking settings). After correcting the settings and rebooting, I tried to run the Upgrade again, and got this (after manually removing the lock file): error: segmentation fault Internal pacman error: Segmentation fault. Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate. Afterwards I ran the pacman with --debug switch. Since the ouptut is rather long, I have attached it to the end of the mail. Unfortunatelly, gdb wasn't very helpfull, just showing 0x00007ffff78d8c96 in strcmp () from /lib/libc.so.6 If any one has any idea of how to replace the broken pacman with a new pacman or of how to fix this issue, I would greatly appreciate to hear from you. Thanks in advance Benedikt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ debug: config: attempting to read file /etc/pacman.conf debug: config: new section 'options' debug: config: HoldPkg: pacman
