[SOLVED]Something wrong with pacman-key

I have installed ArchLinux and entered it.
I installed it according to the official doc.
And when I seted up the pacman-key, there are something error.
The official doc said run

#pacman-key --init

, I run it.
But it prompted

-bash: pacman-key: command not found

.
I consider it not install pacman-key.
Then I run

pacman -S pacman-key

.
It prompted this infomations.

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
glibc: /usr/bin/tzselect exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zdump exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/bin/zic exists in filesystem   

I am new to ArchLinux, I can not find someone have the same problem with me.

Re: [SOLVED]Something wrong with pacman-key

Have you run pacman -Syy since setting the system up?

Try update just pacman. Without key management.
The version with key management (pacman 4.0) is later to that in installer distro.

Re: [SOLVED]Something wrong with pacman-key

You must do some more things when you update.
They are in "latest news"

Manually delete /etc/profile.d/locale.sh before updating. If . /etc/rc.conf fails in your login shell, please read the full announcement.

When upgrading to filesystem-2011.12 there will be a conflict with /etc/mtab. Install the package as follows: pacman -S filesystem --force

Maybe there are anothers. But I think these are all.

Please note that pacman-key is not a separate package. It's included in the latest versions of the pacman package itself.

In case you are windering what happened  to your first post, you apparently hit the 'Report' link rather than the 'Reply' link.  It happens more often than you might imagine
