Errors upgrading new OpenVZ VPS [SOLVED}

sfabius · 2012-08-11 19:54:01

I just got arch on and OpenVZ VPS. I have done my best to follow the instructions here, but of course there is the glibc issue, so I've been trying to follow the wiki. I've gone back and forth and had most of the errors, but now I am stuck. Here are my latest errors when doing the "pacman -Su --ignore glibc,curl"command:

# pacman -Su --ignore glibc,curl

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

If I just do "pacman -Su" then I get the "glibc: lib/ in filesystem error"
It looks like I might be able to just remove /lib/udev/devices/fuse, but is that OK?

Since the problem seems to be removing udev, I thought I would just "pacman -R udev". But then I get:

# pacman -R udev                     
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: initscripts: requires udev>=139-1

Can I "pacman -R udev --force" then upgrade? Or "pacman -S inistscripts --force" (presumably the dependency is not there is udev is not used anymore).?

Why are you doing pacman -Su rather than

pacman -Syu

?

Don't just remove udev. If you update correctly, pacman will replace udev with systemd-tools but you shouldn't need to force this. See the news for details.

OK did pacman -Syu and got the exact same error. Note at beginning of process:

:: Replace udev with core/systemd-tools? [Y/n] y

That's what it says to do in the news post. So why is the udev stuff a problem?

Wow I found that one earlier with other problems, but it wasn't useful. Then this error came up and I ignored it because I'd seen it before! Oy. Thanks. Everything is humming along nicely now.
