[SOLVED] Failed pacman -Syu system update

mephostophilis · 2011-10-23 03:03:10

I tried update pacman -Syu and gave me this message:

 error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
  if you're sure a package manager is not already
  running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

so I changed db.lck to db.lck.bac

and when I pacman -syu pacman gave me this mesage:

 error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
initscripts: /etc/profile.d/locale.sh exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

any Ideals?
