I get this error when trying to upgrade packages. For example:
[root@Arch64PC local]# yaourt -Sy avahi
warning: current locale is invalid; using default "C" locale
:: Synchronizing package databases...
current 69.7K 64.1K/s 00:00:01 [#####################] 100%
extra 253.2K 74.9K/s 00:00:03 [#####################] 100%
error: invalid name for database entry 'local'
community 165.7K 145.4K/s 00:00:01 [#####################] 100%
local database is up to date
error: invalid name for database entry 'local'
error: 'avahi': not found in sync db[root@Arch64PC local]#
Any suggestions?
The /var/lib/pacman/local directory does exist.

Someone on the channel just solved my problem after about an hour of me asking first. Of course it had to happen just after I made this topic .
I just had to delete the other dirs in /var/lib/pacman/ apart from local and sync again.
Thanks wide-eye!

So it's safe to remove community current and extra directories including files in here?

Those get recreated when you synchronize package databases. On the other hand, removing "local" would put you into big troubles ;-)
