I had the same problem today, it helped switching to another repo server. I changed to the third german server, can't recall the name though at the moment. Worked fine afterwords.

EDIT: Using: (for extras) all other configure to use the same server for core/community etc.
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinuxppc.org/i686/extra/os/x86_64

I'm not a programer at all, so surfing through the bug lists bring me nothing.

I'll try the solution from Nihathrael

Which mirror were you using, and which one are you using now?
Is the segfault 100% reproducible with the old mirror?

I was using the tu-chemnitz server befor (1st german mirror), it seemed not to be quite as updated as the new one, couse pacman found lots of updates after i changed the mirror.

What about my second question, is it 100 % reproducible?

I just enabled this server, it seems a bit outdated indeed, but I started downloading several packages from it and everything went fine.
