Problems with `/lib' during uprgade (I know the announcement)

A system last upgraded i may. First I upgraded the filesystem (http://www.archlinux.org/news/filesyste … equired-1/). Then I'm trying to upgrade the rest. I know the document: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … iki:usrlib . But I experience a problem not described there:

# find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} + | grep -v glibc
error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib'

That's the only problem with `/lib'. All other files within `/lib' are owned by glibc or lib32-glibc. And in this situation I should....?

Pacman cannot determine ownership of directories at all, so there is nothing wrong with that error. Just try to upgrade, and if it complains about files in /lib (not sure if lib32-glibc is now upgraded before glibc), first run

pacman -Syu --ignore glibc

and afterwards

pacman -Su
