pacman is broken after update

Hello,

I can't seem to update my system anymore. I ran an update today and It asked me if I wanted to replace
pacman with a new version, so I say SURE! and then afterwards all this malarky happens.
My second attempt via yaourt produces the same complaints as pacman albiet with some debugging info.
Anyone know what may have gone wrong?

Re: pacman is broken after update

This sounds like something that should be bugreported.  bugs.archlinux.org - select 'pacman' category

Re: pacman is broken after update

can you reproduce easily?

if you could get the same trace with debug symbols, it would be awesome
i posted a pkgbuild for pacman there : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10773#comment48269
