Anyone else seeing weirdness? This is a relatively recent build of
pacman-git, on i686, using mirrors.kernel.org as the first mirror.
Note that the [core] repository line even got blown away in there,
meaning it never hit 100% so we never output the \n character or
something (it should be right where the [extra] stuff starts):
