[SOLVED] Error after using pacman -Sy nvidia

I am having problems with pacman. After getting xorg with pacman -S xorg and then doing pacman -s xf86-input-mouse (I think there was an ftp error with that package first of all, however, when I ran it it didn't seem to need to download the package)
I then did pacman -Sy nvidia and it updated the extra repository and then printed this error:

looking for inter-conflicts... Internal pacman error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report, with the given package if appropriate.

Pacman still works for other packages however for, once I removed /tmp/pacman.lck
I was able to do pacman -S joe with no problems.

I am using pacific.com.au as my repository and Pacman 3.0.6. I also
get the error; "warning: current locale is invalid, using default "C" locale"

Any advice would be appreciated.

see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale about the locale issue;

i think it'd be a good idea to upgrade pacman first as the issues maybe have already been fixed
maybe a full system upgrade would make more sense to start off
pacman -Syu

1) 3.0.6 is old, that bug is fixed in the newer pacman versions
2) fix your locale (read pacman output when doing pacman -S glibc)

edit : ok, kumico wins

Thankyou. I upgraded everything and was able to install nvidia perfectly. I'm now using TWM until I find the perfect window manager.
