Pacman -Syu glibc conflict

Hello everyonoe,

I tried to upgrade my system this morning, and i saw those errors messages :

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
glibc: /usr/lib/libBrokenLocale-2.28.so exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/lib/libanl-2.28.so exists in filesystem

binutils: /usr/share/locale/pt/LC_MESSAGES/bfd.mo exists in filesystem
binutils: /usr/share/locale/pt/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I saw in the wiki that i need to pacman -Qo /path/to/file to check if the file is owned by a package.
So i tried :

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libc-2.28.so
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libc-2.28.so

but i really don't want to delete the glibc cause it will break everything after.

Can you please help me ?
Thanksss

Re: Pacman -Syu glibc conflict

Which glibc do you have installed? Show the output of:

# pacman -Q glibc
glibc 2.28-4

Re: Pacman -Syu glibc conflict

Also the output of `pacman -Qkk` and when were you last able to successfully update the system?
