Cannot update glibc due to ownership issues in /lib

I am running Arch Linux on an OpenVZ VPS. Because of this, the kernel is rather old and I am forced to use a third party repository for glibc.

The repository I use for glibc is:

[glibc-vps]
Server = http://dev.archlinux.org/~ibiru/openvz/glibc-vps/$arch

The issue is in the /lib/udev directory, right? I'm fairly sure I need that directory for OpenVPN to function. Any ideas?

edit: removed hostname, derp.

Re: Cannot update glibc due to ownership issues in /lib

mv /lib/udev/devices /usr/lib/udev/ && rm -rf /lib/udev

solved it. thanks to gtmanfred on IRC for confirming this wouldn't break OpenVPN (because of the symlink).
