Re: pacman -Syu Error

DId you just install this or do you seriously have 261 updates?  If you just installed, I'm guessing you didn't use the new net-install ISO...

Search around a bit for the GLIBC update issue.  It is also talked about on the main page http://www.archlinux.org/news/the-lib-d … a-symlink/

Re: pacman -Syu Error

Did you chroot before running pacman (if this is a new installation)?

Re: pacman -Syu Error

You really need to update more often if you ask me and keep an eye on the news page for special update instructions from the Devs...

Re: pacman -Syu Error

How often should I update with pacman, what's the official recommendation?

Re: pacman -Syu Error

I think there is no official recommendation, but I update every time I actively use a machine. For most of my machines, that means at least once a day.

The Archlinux devs put package-updates in the repository for us to use them

Weekly at least, preferably daily.

EDIT: That's my opinion, nobody else's and certainly not official of which there is no recommendation

Re: pacman -Syu Error

I had the same issue with glibc as OP but I used --force option without reading about consequences. My system is not booting up now. Is there a way to fix it without reinstalling the whole system?

Re: pacman -Syu Error

@newgargamel, it seems like this is a related issue, yet not the same.  It may be adviseable to start a new thread to really get help.

To answer the question regarding recommended update schedule, I personally update once every couple of days at most, typically daily.  I guess it depends on if I am at home with great bandwidth, or out and about...

There are tons of topics on this, please search.
