[SOLVED] Upgrade glibc-2.16 fails since 2.15 owns /lib files

After improperly updating two separate systems since `/lib` became `/usr/lib` (which have since been fixed), I decided to try the update on a server too, since it's been a while. I've followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … iki:usrlib as close a possible to succeed, but I think I found something the wiki simply doesn't answer, and before I use `pacman -f`, I wanted some input.

Here's my console output after already doing a bunch of upgrading with `--ignore` and `-Sd`, so that `glibc` is the only thing left to upgrade:

[root@li248-90 lib]# pacman -Syu glibc

As you can see, an old glibc seems to be blocking the ... glibc upgrade.

Is it safe to use `pacman -Sf glibc` now, or is this going to brick this system like my others? Should I create a softlink from `/usr/lib` to `/lib` before I do this or take some other preventative measure?

Re: [SOLVED] Upgrade glibc-2.16 fails since 2.15 owns /lib files

You did run 

$ find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +

to find what leftover files there are that are not owned by glibc ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Yes. The output (in my code listing above) is what led me to believe that an earlier glibc was in the way.

Re: [SOLVED] Upgrade glibc-2.16 fails since 2.15 owns /lib files

My bad. 

find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +

was useful in finding some linode modules in the `/lib` folder. Moving them to `/usr/lib` before running pacman again saved the day.

Re: [SOLVED] Upgrade glibc-2.16 fails since 2.15 owns /lib files

I just dont want to open up another thread for a similar issue.
So am posting here -

I followed the dev wiki,

at first -Syu --ignore glibc didn't work for me for dependency problems.

So I installed allan's glibc 2.16 pkg and then
binutils, gcc, gcc-libs with -d.

Next, a -Syu --ignore glibc updated all other pkgs.

But all files now in /lib are owned by glibc 2.16-0.1 and I cant update the system.
Should I force?

EDIT: Bump. so someone takes a look.

btw, I had a plan.
I thought of making a static build of pacman, copying it to a chroot I already have
chroot into it, mount archroot, mv /lib and install glibc with proper rootdir for pacman,
Unexpectedly, the pacman build failed specifying libarchive isn't available. But I do have that installed. o.O

What exactly is the output of trying to update now? How do you know the new glibc is in the way?

Probably not. Try to sort it out otherwise first to avoid more annoyance.

Re: [SOLVED] Upgrade glibc-2.16 fails since 2.15 owns /lib files

error: No package owns libming.pc
error: No package owns libming.so

could be the reason.
Move them and try again.

@Radioactiveman
Thanks, that was the reason. I was stupid not to try deleting them.
