I'm getting a segmentation fault on the laptop

I'm getting a segmentation fault when trying to upgrade system (pacman -Syu).

This happened after my battery went empy (this is a laptop).

Here goes the output of `pacman -Syu --debug':

error: segmentation fault
Internal pacman error: Segmentation fault.
Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate.

I've tried running memtest86+ and I'm not having any errors.

What should I do next?

This is depressing :´-(

this is just a guess but try doing a "pacman -Syy" first. Perhaps the database was corrupted when the battery died.

Hey, thanks!

That just did it
