Package: pacman-package-manager
Version: 7.1.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: completely breaks basic functionality
Hello,
With curl 8.20 landing in Debian testing, basic pacman operations hang.
On a clean Debian testing system, or e.g. in
podman run -it --rm docker.io/debian:testing
this can be reproduced with:
cat > /tmp/pacman.conf <<'EOF'
[options]
Architecture = x86_64
SigLevel = Never
[core]
Server = https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/core/os/x86_64
EOF
apt update
apt install -y pacman-package-manager
mkdir -p /tmp/root/var/lib/pacman
pacman --config /tmp/pacman.conf --root /tmp/root --noconfirm -Sy glibc
This starts with

and then hangs forever.
The fix was proposed upstream at
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/merge_requests/361
and got applied in Arch:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pacman/-/commit/387ebf06060fd5f
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/merge_requests/360 is a better fix
(without memory leaks), but neither has been accepted upstream yet. But being
accepted in Arch is good enough for now, and avoids the hangs.
I also applied the same patch to Fedora recently:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pacman/pull-request/5#
I'll prepare a debdiff with the same patch.
