Just run "testdb" if you haven't changed you pacman database path... Otherwise "testdb -b <path to pacman db>"
Edit: I see you have >2000 posts and still posting in the newbie section!

There is something new every day the sun comes up............
I assume you mean:( since you didn't show an example).
pacman -b (path to dB) testdb

No, I meant, run:
testdb -b /var/lib/pacman/
where (e.g.) /var/lib/pacman is the path to your pacman db. It appears you don't need to specify the "-b <path>" part if you haven't manually changed you db path.

The use of noobie forum provides answers for noobies whether used by an oldster like me or a noobie. That is what forums are for...to answer queries for everyone!
Guess I have to accept your answer although it doesn't provide a tie-in with pacman which employs the -b option to designate an alternate DB. EDIT: That is my situation...as well as /var/lib/pacman as an alternate.
Tried it as posted and am in the dark as to whether it worked since there was no indication of activity and a return to root prompt with no comment. It would seem a statement of "test passed" would be appropo.
