[SOLVED] So I CTRL+Zd pacman.
It's not exactly cooperating anymore.
[kai@ARCHBTW ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for kai:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to update core (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update extra (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update community (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update multilib (unable to lock database)
error: failed to synchronize all databases
[kai@ARCHBTW ~]$
I cancelled it in the middle of the same command I just listed before, now that's the only output I get.
I'm convinced I bricked it.

When I say in the middle, specifically when it was in the process of synchronizing with community database.

You suspended the job. Type `jobs -l` to verify and `fg` to resume the job.

First thing, thanks for responding so quickly, I don't think I'll respond so quickly as I'm about to head off, but this was my output.
[kai@ARCHBTW ~]$ jobs -l
[kai@ARCHBTW ~]$ fg
bash: fg: current: no such job
[kai@ARCHBTW ~]$
I should have said, I did restart in my vain efforts.
I'm cool and all, you are too.

Re: [SOLVED] So I CTRL+Zd pacman.
In that case you need to remove the lock file /var/lib/pacman/db.lck.

<s> Good point, and you're right about the Arch Wiki, truly is a godsend (and probably helps 99% of everything in newbie corner).
