Pacman + -Syu = system freeze

I cannot post console output because system freeze so i cannot cut& paste. My pacman output is localized so my translation may not be 100% accurate

After i pacman -Syu
i get a list of packages hit y
they get downloaded
then pacman is checking dependencies...done
then
i get checking package integrity and
then i get something like(note translation may be not exact)
memory security violated

then my system freeze...

I tried to upp one package by pacman -S and it was done okay

Really do not know what is going on

edit: my box is preety up-to-date i did full upgrade 2-3 days ago. I'm running stock kernel form current ,i'm not using testing at all.

Try to get a debug output.

Maybe something like this will be useful:

LC_ALL=C pacman --debug -Syu &> log
