Pamac 6.2.3 broken (Arch)

[Evan Washkow]

Just got the new update today, however, it is broken. Both from Antergos' build server (6.2.3-2) and pamac-aur from the AUR (6.2.3-1).

Issues:
I can open the application fine, however, I can't 1) refresh the package database or 2) install any packages (gets stuck "Checking inter-conflicts").

Please fix.

For now, I have reverted to 6.2.2 (command below if anyone else needs it).
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pamac-6.2.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

If you don't have this backup, I have uploaded it to my Google Drive until it is fixed:

I takes me some time but I finally find that it's a vala version issue.
Whatever version of pamac you try to build with vala 0.38.6, it leads to a broken pamac.
If you downgrade to vala 0.38.5 and rebuild pamac, it will works.
I have now to investigate why...

GNOME/vala@0.38.5...0.38.6
