[SOLVED][glibc] A lot of conflicts. Already existing files.

I'm trying to update my system with a ''pacman -Syu''. But I keep getting a conflict.

Targets (12): kernel-headers-2.6.31.5-1  glibc-2.11-1  binutils-2.20-2  bzip2-1.0.5-5  dhcpcd-5.1.3-1  fakeroot-1.14.3-1  gcc-4.4.2-3  gcc-libs-4.4.2-3  hal-0.5.13-3  kernel26-2.6.31.6-1  libcups-1.4.2-1  sqlite3-3.6.20-1

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Should I forcefully remove the old glibc to update? How can I update to the newest kernel?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED][glibc] A lot of conflicts. Already existing files.

post the output of

pacman -Qo /lib/ld-2.11.so
pacman -Qo /usr/bin/bzdiff

Re: [SOLVED][glibc] A lot of conflicts. Already existing files.

Whenever I get these issues I just do sudo pacman -Syuf and that forces the update. Not sure how safe it is in this case...

never associate -f with -u

Well.....  no.  You should never remove glibc from your system.

post the output of

pacman -Qo /lib/ld-2.11.so
pacman -Qo /usr/bin/bzdiff

This is my output:

/lib/ld-2.11.so is owned by glibc 2.11-1
/usr/bin/bzdiff is owned by bzip2 1.0.5-5

Re: [SOLVED][glibc] A lot of conflicts. Already existing files.

That makes no sense!   Why would you be updating to packages that are already installed?

Ha, you tell me

Maybe an update went wrong the first time or something...

Re: [SOLVED][glibc] A lot of conflicts. Already existing files.

i think is safe to do pacman -Sf glibc bzip2. i don't know why is conflicting.

Auch, that just killed my system. System hanged, and now at reboot I'm getting a:

kinit: /sbin/init: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Pid: 1, comm: kinit Not tainted 2.6.31-ARCH #1
Call Trace:

Re: [SOLVED][glibc] A lot of conflicts. Already existing files.

oh i'm sorry. get the installation cd, mount the partition and use pacman -Sf glibc bzip -r /path/to/directory and then pacman -Syu -r  /path/to/directory

I obviously do not need to tell you this, but something is seriously screwed with your system

> pacman -Qo /sbin/init
/sbin/init is owned by sysvinit 2.86-5

No, problem. Your also only trying to help.

get the installation cd, mount the partition and use pacman -Sf glibc bzip -r /path/to/directory and then pacman -Syu -r  /path/to/directory

I'm back in my system, but I think that everything is still broken.. I'm now getting:

pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there a way to re-install the base packages?

Re: [SOLVED][glibc] A lot of conflicts. Already existing files.

Yeah, just did that.

Everything seems to be working now. Even could do a ''pacman -Syu'' and upgraded to the newest kernel.

Thanks for your help.

Re: [SOLVED][glibc] A lot of conflicts. Already existing files.

Some more strange stuff. When I do a 'pacman -Syu' I keep getting the following:

Targets (5): binutils-2.20-2  fakeroot-1.14.3-1  gcc-4.4.2-3  gcc-libs-4.4.2-3  kernel26-2.6.31.6-1

I select to proceed, everything seems to be installed just fine. But than, after a reboot and a 'pacman -Syu' I get the same packages that should be updated.

It seems like my system is totally corrupted. Should I be going for a reinstall of Arch?

Re: [SOLVED][glibc] A lot of conflicts. Already existing files.

Just for the logs.

I was able to stop the upgrading of the same packages by removing the older version of the packages from "/var/lib/pacman/local".
