(SOLVED)File conflicts while installing XFCE?

godtuti · 2012-02-23 00:23:18

So after installing xorg and finishing the installation guide, i decided to go with xfce as my desktop environment. One problem, pacman aborts the installation. Saying there's conflicting files. I'm including a picture of the output.

What's the output of

stat -c %s /var/lib/pacman/local/libltdl-2.4.2-3/files

?

That's some hostname you have there...

Is your system fuly up-to-date?

i got a no such file or directory found error and upon further investigation it turns out i have no /var/lib/pacman

Actually I got another conflicting files error when running pacman -Syu
/etc/mtab exists in filesystem
/etc/profile.d/locale.sh exists in filesystem

It's possible that you specified the DBPath to be somewhere else than /var/lib/pacman, check your pacman.conf.

Read the news on the front page; make the necessary changes and then fully update.

Checked my pacman.conf and it was set to /var/lib. i looked again and i have a pacman directory. i probably made a typo.

They're in the "older news" section on the homepage. Shouldn't be hard to find.
