Some users reported duplicated database entries in /var/lib/pacman/local/,
for example, both foo-1.0-1 and foo-2.0-1 subdirectories existed. (Bogus
3rd-party scripts, backup?) In this case pacman reported no error and its
behaviour was mysterious.
From now on, pacman detects this situation and prints an error message.

Sorry for this being such a huge patch, but I believe it is necessary for
quite a few reasons which I will attempt to explain herein. I've been
mulling this over for a while, but wasn't super happy with making the
download interface more complex. Instead, if we carefully order things in
the internal download code, we can actually make the interface simpler.
1. FS#15657 - This involves `name.db.tar.gz.part` files being left around the
filesystem, and then causing all sorts of issues when someone attempts to
rerun the operation they canceled. We need to ensure that if we resume a
download, we are resuming it on exactly the same file; if we cannot be
almost postive of that then we need to start over.
2. http://www.mail-archive.com/pacman-dev@archlinux.org/msg03536.html - Here
we have a lighttpd bug to ruin the day. If we send both a Range: header and
If-Modified-Since: header across the wire in a GET request, lighttpd doesn't
do what we want in several cases. If the file hadn't been modified, it
returns a '304 Not Modified' instead of a '206 Partial Content'. We need to
do a stat (e.g. HEAD in HTTP terms) operation here, and the proceed
accordingly based off the values we get back from it.
3. The mtime stuff was rather ugly, and relied on the called function to
write back to a passed in reference, which isn't the greatest. Instead, use
the power of the filesystem to contain this info. Every file downloaded
internally is now carefully timestamped with the remote file time. This
should allow the resume logic to work. In order to guarantee this, we need
to implement a signal handler that catches interrupts, notifies the running
code, and causes it to set the mtimes on the file. It then rethrows the
signal so the pacman signal handler (or any frontend) works as expected.
4. We did a lot of funky stuff in trying to track the DB last modified time.
It is a lot easier to just keep the downloaded DB file around and track the
time on that rather than in a funky dot file. It also kills a lot of code.
5. For GPG verification of the databases down the road, we are going to need
the DB file around for at least a short bit of time anyway, so this gets us
closer to that.

Commit 34e1413d75 attempted to implement lazy loading of package databases.
Although it took care of my main complaint (creating the database directory
if it didn't exist), it didn't allow sync repos to be registered before
alpm_option_set_dbpath() had been called.
With this patch, we no longer compute the individual repository DB paths
until necessary, allowing full lazy loading to work as intended, and
allowing us to drop the extra setlibpath() calls from the frontend. This
allows the changes introduced in a2cd48960 (but later reverted) to be added
back in again.

We don't need to create the directories when local or sync dbs are
registered. For example, if a sync db does not exist, we cannot even do
"pacman -Q" as an user.
Instead, we can create the local db if needed during the db_prepare
operation, and sync dbs on db_update.
Also remove some more useless abstractions in db_update and switch to a much
more efficient way to remove a sync db : rm -rf.

Changelogs and install files were getting extracted into the local

uses with 0077 umasks and was highlighted with the new sudo handling

Errors like the following one happen regularly (for unknown reasons...) :
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local//glibc-2.7-9/depends: No
such file or directory
Anyway, every time an user reported an error like that, it always seemed
like he thought the error was caused by the double /, which is obviously
wrong.
Since db->path always include a trailing /, there is no need to add one when
concatenating paths in be_files.c or add.c.
Additionally, some static strings were switched to dynamic.
And the computation of the "dbpath"/"pkgname"-"pkgversion" was refactored
in db_read, db_write and db_remove with a get_pkgpath static function.

We have been using unsigned long as a file size type for a while, which
works but isn't quite correct and could easily break. Worse was probably our
use of int in the download callback functions, which could be restrictive
for packages > 2GB in size.
Switch all file size variables to use off_t, which is the preferred type for
file sizes. Note that at least on Linux, all applications compiled against
libalpm must now be sure to use large file support, where _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
is defined to be 64 or there will be some weird issues that crop up.

repo-add and db_read both assume that REPLACES and FORCE fields are in the
desc file, so do that for db_write as well (instead of depends file).
Note that db_write is currently only used on the local database. And the
only purpose of replaces and force in local database is for information
purpose (available on -Qi operations). So this is not a big problem.

Commit 0460038447 caused a regression when
rereading the pkgcache after updating the on-disk databases. A rewinddir
call was errantly removed.
Instead of replacing the call to rewindir, clean up this whole mess.
db_scan is used only once and with target == NULL so there was actually half
the code of db_scan which was unused. This is gone now and replaced by a
single new db_populate function.
Dan: add_sorted ended up being 3x slower than one msort at the end, so I
changed back to that. I also made one pointer variable const and merged this
whole patch with my original fix for the rewinddir issue.

The deptest code (pacman -T) used by makepkg was mostly in the frontend.
There were 2 drawbacks:
1) the public splitdep function returns a pmdepend_t struct, but the
_alpm_dep_free function for freeing it is private. So there was a memleak.
2) there is a helper in the backend (satisfycmp in deps.c) which makes this
function much easier.
So this adds a new public alpm_deptest in libalpm/deps.c, which cleans
pacman_deptest in pacman/deptest.c a lot.
Besides, alpm_splitdep was made private, because the frontend no longer
requires it, and _alpm_dep_free is also private.
Finally the deptest001 pactest was extended.

Holy inefficient batman! For a pacman -Qt operation (when we are using
compute_requiredby and not database entries), splitdep was being called ~1.3
million times on my local database. By splitting when we read the DB, we
drop this number to around 1700 and save a LOT of time in doing so (a 5x
increase in pacman -Qt speed here).
Note that the depends alpm_list_t in the package struct is no longer a
string list, but a list of pmdepent_t objects.

Commit 47622eef4d introduced localized times
in the metadata by way of storing the UNIX epoch value instead of a hard
coded date string. However, it missed a few things:
* If we weren't in the C/POSIX/en_US locale, the date parsing would fail
as it tried to use the abbreviations of the locale being used. Fix this
by switching the LC_TIME value before we parse a date.
* We used ctime to print the date value, which is always the C locale
string. Instead, use strftime to print a localized date string.
