Looking at the version I'm using the only change in libalpm has been the 
fix for {pre,post_remove. But it might have something to do with this 
change 
http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lib/libalpm/alpm.c.diff?r1=1.127&r2=1.128&cvsroot=Pacman&only_with_tag=R_3_0_1

I need to go and do some testing but now that I think about it glibc got 
upgraded during an -Syu, that's not supposed to happen is it? HoldPkgs 
shouldn't upgrade during -Syu should they?
