db_write problem

Whenever installing a package from pacman, I get something like this:

installing perlxml... done.
db_write: Is a directory
upgrading intltool... db_write: Is a directory

What is with the "db_write" thing? That never happened before. This started after I upgraded glibc via pacman.

Re: db_write problem

Check your /var/lib/pacman/local.  Somewhere in there there's a directory where there should be a file.
