Strange errors while installing anything with pacman

After upgrading the system which runs on a Virtualbox on windows, I get following errors while installing any package with pacman.
The upgrade was once interrupted due to a freeze of VirtualBox.

Re: Strange errors while installing anything with pacman

You may have to reinstall groff and man-db (if neccessary with '-f') to regenerate the 'depends' files
