Trouble with /usr/lib symlink update

[pepijndevos]

I followed this information https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De ... iki:usrlib and did

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '$ sudo pacman -Syu --ignore glibc,curl

Later they said that if you have conflicts that are not owned by any application, you can remove them.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '$ pacman -Qo /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
/etc/profile.d/locale.sh is owned by initscripts 2012.07.5-1
$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/man/man7/archlinux.7.gz

What to do?

[MattScherbatsky]

I have same problems. Damn. Can anyone help us?

Like other users i used the steps in "archlinux" wiki to no avail. Id just like to say i think that this is very sloppy workmanship by the developrs to push out this update and not give users a heads up --ignore glibc dont cut it. using steps to symlink as i did on 3 arch linux pc's at home preceeded to make arch-arm unbootable , i had to chroot in and perform first aid. dont think me ungrateful for the work the developers do i just think thais could have been handled better and more testing done , --ignore glibc was best advice you guys could give ? i mean really ?

/me slow clap

We're updating initscripts today to bring it up to "snuff". We didn't forsee this entanglement, so you have our apologies. Considering we do all of this in what spare time we have ... I'm just going to stop before I get snarky.

[pepedog]

I didn't read here and just done a plain old pacman -Syu (albeit a v6hf pi) just now
Luckily initscripts was in and all is fine

[ruidc]

We appreciate the work WarheadsSE et al, shame not all understand the effort you provide for no reward other than the admiration of your lesser techie brethren - ignore the childish ignorant voices and keep up the great work.

Thanks for the quick fix. The error I mentioned is gone.

It did gave a new error, but it continued anyway. I hope it's not harmful.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '(6/8) upgrading linux-raspberrypi [#######################################################################################] 100%

>>>Current installed start.elf: /boot/arm224_start.elf')

After that I have issue 2, still files left. They are owned by pcmciautils, which is not in the ARM repos. I'm super confused now. I uninstalled the package, but it still fails to install libc.

When I check the last command, there are a couple of files owned by libc, and a lot like
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'error: No package owns /lib/modules/3.1.9-10+/modules.alias')
Is that related to the previous error?

Hi, I made an update with --ignore glibc but after syncing and reboot I lost use of keyboard.
How may I solve?

[pepijndevos]

Okay that worked. It's "modules" though, not "module" as in your description.

If you lost your keyboard, I think the best way to solve it is to login over SSH and poke around in config files. Not sure which ones though.
