[pacman-dev] pacman locking the db when downloading with -S ?

[Andreas Radke]

i found this strange behavior:

while i had pacman3 -Syu downloading some updates it kept the db locked
so makepkg3 couldn't check the deps.

[andyrtr at workstation64 pacman3]$ rm -rf src/ && time makepkg3 -L

It's ok that the pacman -Syu job locks the db while checking the
dependencies but it should unlock them after that immediatly and maybe
relock when installing the packages.
