[Solved]pacman -- Segmentation fault

I have been receiving the error below and I am not sure what to do next. I have done a number of searches but can't find an answer.  I tried downgrading ( pacman -Suu ) but I get the same error as well as :

failed to init transaction (unable to lock database) then I have to delete /var/lib/pacman/db.lck .

Any direction would be appreciated.

[joe@Arch-Tux etc]$ sudo pacman -Syu

Re: [Solved]pacman -- Segmentation fault

You're using pacman 4, which is in [testing] and can be quind of unstable.

On the other hand, the last line seems quite  specific about what to do, don't you think?

PS: If you can't do that basic stuff, maybe you should stop using testing.

Re: [Solved]pacman -- Segmentation fault

I do not see that problem, after a 'pacman -Syu':

poppler-glib 0.16.7-2 -> 0.18.0-1
poppler 0.16.7-2 -> 0.18.0-1

I use a git version of pacman 4:

Build Date     : Thu Oct 13 23:54:53 2011
Install Date   : Thu Oct 13 23:58:44 2011

pacman 4rc2 is now pacman 4.0.0 in Testing.

Try to use the version in Testing, following recommendations in mailing list Pacman-dev.

Or compile the last git snapshot: https://github.com/berbae/pacman-git

Did you run 'pacman-key --init'?

Re: [Solved]pacman -- Segmentation fault

Update to 4.0.0.   That is a fixed bug from 4.0.0rc2.

Re: [Solved]pacman -- Segmentation fault

Thanks for all of the input. I looked into the keys based on the replies and found some further direction on the Arch Wiki.

SigLevel     = Never --> In my etc/pacman.conf

& ran update. --> pacman -Syyu and now I am all set. 

Now clyde is dead 

[joe@Arch-Tux ~]$ sudo clyde -Syua
Password:
lua: error loading module 'lualpm' from file '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/lualpm.so':

    /usr/share/lua/5.1/clydelib/util.lua:2: in main chunk
    [C]: in function 'require'
    /usr/bin/clyde:5: in main chunk
    [C]: ?

Any thought     ?

All input appreciated.
