filesystem Update Error /bin exists in filesystem

WonderWoofy · 2013-06-05 04:25:22

I took "its getting late" to mean "I'm out". Sorry. 5:30 isn't so bad though... since I got sober, I can't sleep past ~6:15 anymore. I don't actually need to be up that early, but that is what my body is telling me is normal.

Edit: BTW, sorry for temorarily derailing this thread everyone... but I guess there is no real linear momentum to this thread anyway beside the fact that everyone is suffering from teh same update.

I solved problem with this:

For those who ended up in an unbootable state. I assume you have previous versions of all recently updated packages in pacman's cache.
1. Boot into a LiveCD.
2. Open terminal, log in as root.
3.
# cd /
# mkdir BrokenArch
# mount /dev/[Arch's partition here] BrokenArch
# cd BrokenArch
# ln -s usr/bin bin
# ln -s usr/sbin sbin
# mount --bind /dev dev
# mount --bind /proc proc
# mount --bind /run run
# mount --bind /sys sys
# chroot .
4. Open /BrokenArch/var/log/pacman.log and find the recently updated packages.
5.
# cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
# pacman -U [list all the previous versions of recently updated packages here, use full filenames with *.pkg.tar.xz estensions. probably just few of the packages caused the problem, but I reinstalled them all]
5. Before confirming downgrade in pacman, open another terminal and log in as root.
6. In the new terminal
# rm /BrokenArch/bin
# rm /BrokenArch/sbin
7. Now you can confirm the downgrade in the first terminal.
8. When the downgrade is complete, perform it once more to correctly execute all post-install scripts.
EDIT: 8.5.
# exit
9. (edited)
# cd /
# umount /BrokenArch
10. reboot

What have you tried, what were the errors?
Wired or wireless network?

kenan · 2013-06-05 08:08:08

I just try to use pacman --root /mnt -Su to update my system.
but It shows the location is resolved. I try to ping some web, it still cannot work.

I used wired, so I do not know hot to fix this.

Are you using the June iso?

# mount /dev/[Arch's partition here] BrokenArch

What is that partition? /, /boot, /home?
Sorry for this stupid question!

kenan · 2013-06-05 08:11:22

No, I used 2012.09 iso...

Why?

Please, don't top-post.

please use $fdisk -l to find the linux partition, then mount this partition to this folder.

I just have this one, so I used this one to load, you mean I should use the 6.1 iso.

Boot to an install disk, mount your partitions to /mnt, fix whatever gave you the error for the filesystem update, then run pacman --root /mnt -Su

met could not resolve hot issue when run pacman in live cd, how to fix this?

Of course the root partition is meant here.

Same. There's going to be a lot in the coming weeks.
For anyone who's encountered this problem, do not use pacman's --force flag to install the filesystem update.
Check your AUR packages for updates, and update them. Remove or rebuild (after modifying the PKGBUILD) any unsupported packages that still place binaries in /bin, /sbin or /usr/sbin. If you have untracked files in those directories, remove them, or move them to /usr/local/bin.
Get a list of packages that owns files in /bin, /sbin, and /usr/sbin (tested in bash and zsh):
grep '^s\?bin/\|usr/sbin' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files | cut -d ":" -f 1 | uniq | cut -d "/" -f 6
Find unpackaged files in /bin, /sbin, and /usr/sbin:
find /bin /sbin /usr/sbin -exec pacman -Qo -- {} + >/dev/null
Again, do NOT use pacman's --force flag to install the filesystem update.

These instructions worked a treat, thanks!

Hello.

I did what the front page news says but when im running the last command pacman -Su , it returns me this error

:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Packages (1): filesystem-2013.05-2
Total Installed Size: 0.01 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: -0.30 MiB

(1/1) checking for file conflicts
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
filesystem: /usr/sbin exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Then i run
pacman -Qqo /usr/sbin
and got

consolekit
filesystem

and with
pacman -Qqo /usr/sbin | pacman -Qm -

consolekit 0.4.6-4

How can i fix this ?

karol · 2013-06-05 12:01:56

Please search the forum. consolekit question has already been answered.

Torxed · 2013-06-05 12:10:42

Nothing on the main news and nothing on the first few posts so i'm asking.

When will these changes reflect on the ISO live-image that we download?
It's kind of annoying to do:

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

Every time i boot the live cd to either update something on a "dead" system or to reinstall a friends PC..
I've done this a couple of times the last few days and i thought of creating my own live-image but considering that will only live a few days before a release is made (i'm guessing) it felt like extra work..

Arch iso is a netinstall one, you install packages from the servers not the CD, so the filesystem etc. have already been moved. The iso is a liveCD with some scripts to make it easier to chroot etc.

Have you tried installing Arch using the June iso and have you run into any issues?

Since the iso simply downloads the packages you're installing from the repos, a fresh installation today will result in a post-usrbin-update system with no additional steps necessary. Just 'pacstrap /mnt base' or whatever.

Ah, yes, I meant installing today, not e.g. June 1st.

netpumber · 2013-06-05 12:40:55

Hello.

I did what New post says but folders /bin , /usr/sbin still exitsts with contents in them. Should i remove them or not ?

Can you please tell us what's in them? What packages own these files?

WorMzy · 2013-06-05 12:46:34

You shouldn't remove them manually, unless they're untracked by pacman. You should find out which packages own these files, then either update or remove those packages. The commands in the news post should assist you with this.

nims11 · 2013-06-05 13:03:15

I screwed up my upgrade, ended with a /sbin/init error. I straightaway did a "pacman -Syu filesystem,bash" and "pacman -S bash", after which I realized I missed the previous steps. I performed them. But pacman started acting weird by refusing to download any package off internet independent of the downloader I used. Without upgrading the filesystem, I rebooted and ended this way.

I fixed it by booting into a LiveCD, chrooted into Arch partition (steps 1-3 in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … #p1283129). Then downloaded *.xz for filesystem 2013.05-2 from https://www.archlinux.org/packages/ and installed it with "pacman -U", handling the conflicts in /bin, /sbin, suitably.
