I did what you suggested. I bootet the Arch linux live cd, removed the old databse, installed base and base-devel, copied the resulting db and rebooting. After readding users, adapting rc.conf and another reboot, I was able to log in. Now pacman -Syu works without errors (However has nothing to update at the moment, so I cant really tell). However I also saved a complete list of packages before doing the live-cd thing, in order to restore them now. Unfortunatelly I once again ran into the problem. Many packages work just fine, however a pacman -S pulseaudio segfaults again, with the already known error message. Therefore I assumed it had something to do with my package cache. I did a pacman -Scc However no success. Still getting the segfault. Is there any other place pacman keeps information about packages like pulseaudio? Any ideas what I could do? Anyone having any idea, what the problem might be? Again every hint is very appreciated. Thanks Benedikt
