After I installed arch , I input the term with pacman -Syu .
Then
::Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
coommunity is up to date
::Starting full system upgrade...
::Replace module-init-tools with core/kmod?[y/n] y /*****************
Here I input a y ,but I do not know what does it mean. Please help here.*******/
............
.........
error: failed to commit transcation (conflicting files)
filesystem: /etc/mtab exists in filesystem
initscripts: /etc/profile.d/locale.sh exists in filesystem
Errors occurred ,no packages were upgraded.
At this situation , what should I do ?

Re: Help about pacman -Syu
Welcome to Arch. There are a number of items on the 'News' section of the site that you will need to read through. It is all pretty straightforward - just work your way through them:

Re: Help about pacman -Syu
prncoprs, the directions Jason gave should walk you through each of those known issues quite well. But if you end up trying to reinstall for any reason, you may want to check out the net-install option to side step all these issues.
