Hello,
i have serious problems upgrading my Arch Linux box. I've been using a vServer which _only_ supplies an pretty old Arch Linux image.
Whatever i try,
My problems are:
- I cannot upgrade pacman from 4.0.3-1 to 4.1.1-1
- I cannot install filesystem 2013.03-2
- I cannot upgrade glibc from 2.16.0-1 to 2.17-5
pacman has filesystem and glibc as a dependency.
glibc has filesystem as a dependency.
When i try to install filesystem:
-bash-4.2# pacman -S filesystem
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] n
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Targets (2): iana-etc-2.30-3 filesystem-2013.03-2
Total Installed Size: 3.75 MiB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
(2/2) checking package integrity [#######################################] 100%
(2/2) loading package files [#######################################] 100%
(2/2) checking for file conflicts [#######################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
filesystem: /etc/mtab exists in filesystem
filesystem: /lib exists in filesystem
filesystem: /lib64 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
If i try to --force the installation of filesystem, the whole system will break super hard
Things i tried without success:

If reinstalling is not an option, upgrade incrementally using the ARM, following the order in the news.

^^^ This is what I was going to suggest as well. Just keep in mind that unlike the normal mirrors, the Arch Rollback Machine is a single server. So it is best not to think of this as something you can use and abuse at will.
Good luck!

after reading a pile of bbs post's I would suggest keeping the config's /etc /home & any other important location & just bit the bullet & re-install
ROG Strix (GD30CI) - Intel Core i5-7400 CPU - 32Gb 2400Mhz - GTX1070 8GB - AwesomeWM (occasionally XFCE, i3)

You didn't read the post carefully enough. This is not an option for the OP, as this is Arch hosted on a vserver and the image is provided to him (and is apparently old).
