[pacman-dev] PM_LOCK

[wael at siemens-mobiles.org]

Hi,

in lib/libalpm/alpm.h, you define PM_LOCK to "/tmp/pacman.lck", but the
lock file should depend on config->root, a scenario:

I have a chroot at /home/chroot where I ran the following:
pacman -Sy -r /home/chroot xorg gnome gnome-extra kde

And i want to update and/or install on my real root ( / ), so I run
pacman -Syu

but pacman will exit since /tmp/pacman.lck exist, this is wrong, "pacman
-r /home/chroot" should not lock "pacman -r /" since pacman will not touch
/var/lib/pacman...

Regards,
