kernel-headers conflicts with glibc

Natanji · 2009-11-15 11:20:16

Hello everbody,
it has been some time since I upgraded my system, and now I'm having problems because of a conflict of kernel-headers with glibc.

When I do
pacman -S kernel-headers

I get
warning: kernel-headers-2.6.31.5-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...

:: kernel-headers conflicts with glibc. Remove glibc? [Y/n]

Of course removing glibc isn't an option, as dozens of packages depend on it. Any clue what's wrong here? I am not able to do a normal system update because I get lots of
glibc: (filename) exists in filesystem
(sorry, not willing to type all of those filenames out )
followed by
libxtst: /us/include/X11/extensions/XTest.h exists in filesystem

A full system update will work.

That's the point, a full system update with
pacman -Syu
will NOT work because of all the
glibc: (filename) exists in filesystem
and
libxtst: /us/include/X11/extensions/XTest.h exists in filesystem
errors that keep it from updating.

Well, we should fix that then... please post the full output.

The file /usr/include/X11/extensions/XTest.h is interesting, because it change package ownership recently, from xextproto to libxtst.
