filesystem, glibc and old upgrade

[filip123]

Hello

I'm currently trying to upgrade an old archlinuxarm server of mine (Seagate GoFlex Home) and I am having trouble with the filesystem upgrade (linking /bin /sbin to /usr/...). I have read the instructions about upgrading without the filesystem package first after that upgrade filesystem. (Install everything in the new location first and then fix the symlinks). The only problem is that the filesystem I have now is 2012.7 and glibc requires at least 2013.01 and pretty much everything depends on glibc of course. So I can't upgrade anything. I have not tried to just upgrade everything with -f (ignore conflicts) but I have a feeling it won't go well...

My first idea was to find the 2013.01 version of filesystem and install that first, then upgrade everything except filesystem and last upgrade filesystem, but I can't find a armv5 copy of filesystem-2013.01 anywhere (and I can't build it myself from the old PKGBUILD without first upgrading (missing tools for that)).

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Or can send me a copy of filesystem-2013.01?
