[SOLVED] glibc and filesystem simultaneous upgrade

Hi!

I wanted to upgrade my archlinux system today (last update mid of may) and I have some problems to do it. The system has to update more than 550 packages and I'm having some problems with the process...

If I use:

pacman -Syu

I got the error message:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
glibc: /lib exists in filesystem
filesystem: /var/lock exists in filesystem
filesystem: /var/run exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded

Then, I tried with:

pacman -Syu --ignore glibc

and I got:

error: preparing the transaction (dependences cannot be satisfied)
:: libcanberra-pulse: needs libcanberra=0.28-4
:: pyqt: needs python-sip

Then, I tried:

pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem && pacman -S filesystem --force

and I got:

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

Does anybody know how can I update the system?

Thanks for the help!

Re: [SOLVED] glibc and filesystem simultaneous upgrade

-First make sure, /var/lock and /var/run are symlinks to ../run and ../run/lock.
-Then execute pacman -Syu --ignore "filesystem,glibc" && pacman -S filesystem --force
-Then continue with glibc fixing. (moving or deleting all non-glibc files from /lib, rebuilding AUR packages using /lib, removing all subfolders from glibc, ...)

Re: [SOLVED] glibc and filesystem simultaneous upgrade

To be honest, if at all possible you really need to update more often than once every 2 months.

I made sure that the symlinks are there.

I executed

pacman -Syu --ignore "filesystem,glibc" && pacman -S filesystem --force

and I got:

error: error preparing the transaction (dependencies cannot be satisfied)
:: libcanberra-pulse: needs libcanberra=0.28-4
:: pyqt: needs python-sip

I usually update my system once a week or even more often. I just was abroad and I was unlucky, that two important updates were done in one and a half months...

Any further ideas?

Thanks for the help!

Hi flakedave!

Thanks for the links: in the first one, I get stuck when using:

pacman -U http://pkgbuild.com/~allan/glibc-2.16.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz

because I get:

error: error preparing the transaction (dependences cannot be satisfied)
:: valgrind: needs glibc<2.16

How can I continue?

Thanks!

Thanks! It works!

I just followed the instructions from http://allanmcrae.com/2012/07/updating- … e-install/

But still have a little problem...

After doing

pacman -Su

I get still an error. I just used:

grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files | grep -v glibc

to see which programs other than glibc think they own /lib and I get:

[root@pedrito lib]# grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files | grep -v glibc
/var/lib/pacman/local/ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2-2/files:lib/
/var/lib/pacman/local/ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2-2/files:lib/firmware/
/var/lib/pacman/local/ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2-2/files:lib/firmware/LICENSE.ipw3945-ucode
/var/lib/pacman/local/ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2-2/files:lib/firmware/ipw3945.ucode

I removed ipw3945d (pacman -Rs ipw3945d), but still the same error.

Cab anybody help me?

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] glibc and filesystem simultaneous upgrade

Those two commands must not return anything in order to complete the update.
First: There must not be any directories below /lib, move or delete them or fix packages.

find /lib -type d

Second: All files in /lib must be owned by glibc. Anything else must be deleted or moved. Fix the packages they belong to.

LC_ALL=C find /lib -not -type d -exec pacman -Qo -- \{\} \; | grep -v  "owned by glibc"

Both  commands:

find /lib -type d
LC_ALL=C find /lib -not -type d -exec pacman -Qo -- \{\} \; | grep -v  "owned by glibc"

return nothing in my case.

But i cannot complete 

pacman -Su

I already removed the ipw3945d package, but still there... I cannot understand the issue... This is the most confusing update ever made with Archlinux...

Well,

find /lib -type d

returns
