[pacman-dev] [BUG] pacman freezes and eats up all the cpu

[bardo]

In a moment of distraction during a pacman -U, while it was doing the
conflict checking, I removed the package I was installing from another
console. The missing package was correctly detected, but then another
error came up, and pacman hung taking the cpu to 100%. Even ctrl-c
couldn't stop it, I had to kill it. Here's the log:

[root at paradigm ~]# LANG=en_US pacman -U
