We didn't do this sanity check before trying to open an archive. If
the alpm dbpath wasn't set, the sync database dbpath would be NULL,
causing us to hang indefinitely in archive_read_open_filename() rather
than erroring out.
We already have a corresponding check in local_db_populate().
The following program will test this case, and hangs before this patch
without the call to set_dbpath:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
alpm_initialize();
// alpm_option_set_dbpath("/var/lib/pacman/");
pmdb_t *core = alpm_db_register_sync("core");
pmpkg_t *pkg = alpm_db_get_pkg(core, "pacman");
return 0;
}
