Re: pacman segmentation fault

Just do a pacman -S pacman && pacman -Syu afterwards. That fixed the fault for me. *shrug* It doesn't appear to really mean anything, just a small bug.

Re: pacman segmentation fault

the same Segmentation Fault has been happening to me for 2 days now. i think this is a pacman problem, not disk issues of any kind...

Re: pacman segmentation fault

This has been fixed for 2.9.6.  I'll release it soon.
