This is v2 of a patchset submitted long ago. It has been rebased and had its memory leaks fixed.
With this patchset, pacman will create a local database directory if it is missing (but not the root of the database - i.e. /var/lib/pacman/ still needs to be present). When creating the database or finding an empty local database it will add the .alpm_db_version file and add the version. For existing pacman databases this file is created by the pacman-db-upgrade script. Finally the version of the local database is checked during db validation.
