[SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

I've done everything in the article, and I have no unofficial packages.

However, I do use zsh as my shell, so I thought I might as well ask before doing anything:

# pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash
# pacman -S bash
# pacman -Su

Should I replace bash with zsh here? I do have both bash and zsh installed.

EDIT: I did indeed forget to mount /boot. After doing that the update worked perfectly.

Re: [SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

No, bash is needed because of post install scripts that call bash or sh specifically.

Re: [SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

Hmm. I did everything it asked me to do, but now the installation of filesystem is hanging at "Checking available disk space" - Is this to be expected?

Re: [SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

You probably forgot to mount all the autofs partitions.

Re: [SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

No, I don't think so. At least mount reported that /boot, /home and / was mounted, and that's all the partitions I have.

However, if this indeed is the case, do you have any idea how to fix it?

Re: [SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

I don't know about anyone else, but the upgrade step for filesystem just took a little while (a long time for pacman, but not that long in the grand scheme of things).

How long did it hang before you interrupted it?

All the best,

I've left it hanging (and it still hangs) so about 15 minutes now, I would say. There's no disk activity.
Would it be completely stupid to interrupt it? Pacman hasn't written anything about installing yet.

EDIT: All applications appear to be broken - Probably because of the changes in PATH, I assume. Pacman is still hanging. I am left with an unusable root-terminal (with no applications), firefox and libreoffice.

Re: [SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

So, still hanging. I guess I'm screwed. Where do I go from here? Use a live-cd to try installing filesystem again? Roll back the filesystem package?

My fear is, that a reboot will result in this error, as experienced in this thread.

Error: Root device mounted successfully, but /sbin/init does not exist.
Bailing out, you are on your own. Good Luck

Re: [SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

Also use zsh.
Used  "pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,zsh" instead (seemed logical to me, not sure if that is correct way).
All worked fine.

No. This is not right. bash is not ignored because it is the user's shell; it is ignored for a separate reason. And, it should be mentioned; having done this update without issue, I have had no problems with zsh whatsoever (no extra work required).

All the best,

Thanks for details.
Unfortunately reason was not stated in the update instruction

Re: [SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

Alright, I have one working shell. I have no Ignores but I do have

HoldPkg     = pacman glibc

in /etc/pacman.conf - Could this be the culprit?

Also, here are the (missing) output of the commands from the article. I'm quite interested in knowing whether all my autofs-partitions are mounted, which I believe they are.

No, those package in HoldPkg are normal

How about posting your fstab?

D'oh! I love you - in a geeky way, that is. This solved my problem. So much for my ability to read the output of mount...

It seems to me I have the same problem - how did you get one shell working?

CTRL+C'ed a couple of times when it was hanging at "checking available disk-space". Whatever you do after that, do NOT close that terminal. Beware that this worked for me, I can't tell if it will work for you too.
