sourceballs, ftpdir-cleanup and one dev's db-update apparently managed to get 
into a deadlock situation.

I've killed some processes and removed a couple of stale locks. You should be 
able to run db-update again now.

PS: I've whitelisted you on arch-dev-public since I forgot that when you 
became a TU. Also arch-dev-public or arch-devops are better places for such 
problems than arch-general. I generally don't look at mails on arch-general as 
often.
