If you manage to download a bad database (e.g. an html file when
behind a proxy or with a badly configured webserver), pacman makes
sure you know about it. Here is some example output:
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive
format
error: could not open

Catch empty strings and report an error.

FYI, v1 was submitted on 2017/05/11... It was suggested I should not just
skip empty strings and instead report a letter.
