Hi,

As you guys are not very inspired by the problem ;), I am answering it 
my self. But I still need some help.

The installation process stops at the line "$PACMAN_TARGET -Sy >$LOG 
2>&1 || return 1" in lib-pacman.sh. If I try to run manually the 
command, which is "pacman --conf /tmp/pacman.conf", it actually doesn't 
work.
It seems it is failing because the core.db file is missing. If I add a 
link with "ln -s core.db.tar.gz core.db", then it's working again.

I don't know why this link doesn't exists there (it is in the archlinux 
mirror), so probably we have to add it. I need some help there.

And also, it wasn't a problem with pacman 3.4 but it became a problem 
with 3.5.
