Re: pacman segfault

I get a very similar problem.

I cannot upgrade glibc, which is holding up the upgrades of a slew of other packages.

Re: pacman segfault

this never happened to me, but anyway try:

pacman -Rd glibc
pacman -Sy glibc

maybe it works.

Re: pacman segfault

Wow...I just did the first step you suggest, then the second step gives me:

bash: /usr/bin/pacman: No such file or directory

I think I may have ruined my system.

Try using pacman.static.
