[SOLVED]problem with upgrade of /lib -> /usr/lib

I followed this article:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … iki:usrlib
but still have problem

pacman -U http://pkgbuild.com/~allan/glibc-2.16.0 … pkg.tar.xz
told me linux-api-headers is depend on glibc

and here is my output:
[root@localhost ~]# grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files|awk -F "/" '{print $6}'|sort|uniq
acl-2.2.51-1
attr-2.4.46-1
bzip2-1.0.6-1
cryptsetup-1.3.1-1
dbus-core-1.4.12-1
device-mapper-2.02.85-2
e2fsprogs-1.41.14-1
filesystem-2011.04-1
glibc-2.14-4
kernel26-lts-2.6.32.42-1
keyutils-1.4-1
libcap-2.21-1
libgcrypt-1.4.6-3
libgpg-error-1.9-3
linux-firmware-20110512-2
lvm2-2.02.85-2
mdadm-3.2.1-3
mkinitcpio-0.6.15-1
mkinitcpio-busybox-1.18.4-1
ncurses-5.9-1
pam-1.1.3-1
pcmciautils-017-2
pcre-8.12-1
popt-1.16-3
procps-3.2.8-3
readline-6.2.001-2
shadow-4.1.4.3-2
sysfsutils-2.1.0-6
syslog-ng-3.2.4-2
udev-171-2
util-linux-2.19.1-2
xfsprogs-3.1.5-1

I think remove these packages above is impossible.
I also tried move all files which is not owned by glibc in /lib to other directory
but also have conflict problem

somone tell me what should I do ... ?

I can not do what this article told me
because some of the package such as acl&attr have files under /lib
and these packages are very basic packages for most command(ls mv pacman)
when I do `pacman -Su --ignore glibc` I also have to ignore some package during the update and some packages cannot properly installed due to some lib depence error(acl attr install failed).

My arch version is very old(2011.07 version)

sorry for my terriable English ...

Re: [SOLVED]problem with upgrade of /lib -> /usr/lib

Under the pacman -U ... command, there's a suggestion to use a single -d if necessary - did you do that?

And apart from that, it seems you need to read (again) the section titled "Issue 1: glibc dependency errors".

BTW, 2011.07 is an installer version, not an "arch version". Have you kept this arch system up to date since you installed it?

Re: [SOLVED]problem with upgrade of /lib -> /usr/lib

Thanks, I finally figured out my problem.

Have you kept this arch system up to date since you installed it?
no. My system is a VPS, the OS image is installed by 2011.07 installer version
Hm... how can I mark this Issue 'solved' ?

Re: [SOLVED]problem with upgrade of /lib -> /usr/lib

Hi Hacksign:

Welcome to Arch.  To mark it as solved, go ahead and edit your first post and edit the title.  Add [SOLVED] to the beginning of the title.

The moderators do not do that, because we don't know when you think it is solved.
