That's great, but any ideas why zsh completion doesn't work anymore? I don't
think I ever got it working again since I reinstalled a few months ago, yet
I'm still using nearly the same .zshrc , and the zsh completion file is the
one that was sitting in git.
I also tried with your patch applied, but it didn't help.

I copied the file as /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_pacman , and I have the
following in .zshrc :

autoload -Uz compinit promptinit
compinit
promptinit

compdef pacman pacman.static=pacman

The completion available by default seem to work correctly, eg mplayer, ssh,
etc..
But that custom pacman one never works, it only wants to complete with the
files in the CWD.
Also, I didn't have any problem getting it to work the first time, so I have
no idea what's wrong. I don't know how to get more informations about the
problem either.
