[SOLVED] Update fails ("/usr/lib64 exists in filesystem")

Hi,
today I wanted to update my arch linux. I selected all packages:

bash-4.2.042-2  filesystem-2013.01-1  gcc-4.7.2-4  gcc-libs-4.7.2-4  glibc-2.17-2  linux-api-headers-3.7.4-1  mkinitcpio-0.12.0-3 sudo-1.8.6.p5-1  transmission-gtk-2.76-2

But then I've got following error (translated from German to English)

Error: Could not complete procedure (conflicts in files)
filesystem: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem

Any idea?

Best regards
Steffo

I have a same question and hope for solution.

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
filesystem: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Yes, for starters

1. read the news,  ---> https://www.archlinux.org/news/update-f … -together/
2. search the forums

There are multiple topics on this already

Re: [SOLVED] Update fails ("/usr/lib64 exists in filesystem")

After reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … stem.22.21
I run the command below

pacman -Qo /usr/lib64

and there is no ownership of it.
Then

mv /usr/lib64 /usr/lib64.backup

and "pacman -Syu" is well.

Thanks for you all.

Re: [SOLVED] Update fails ("/usr/lib64 exists in filesystem")

Please have a look at this:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … i%3Ausrlib

This doesn't work:

sudo pacman -U -d http://pkgbuild.com/~allan/glibc-2.16.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

See which package owns those files and remove it.  'pacman -Qo FILE'

+1
I was thinking of doing something simliar to this, but wasnt sure, nor had the time to fully work out a fix until tonight and thought of checking the forums one last time.

Thank you,
mv /usr/lib64 /usr/lib64.backup works.
