[SOLVED] Update fails ("/usr/lib64 exists in filesystem")

Hi,
today I wanted to update my arch linux. I selected all packages:
bash-4.2.042-2 filesystem-2013.01-1 gcc-4.7.2-4 gcc-libs-4.7.2-4 glibc-2.17-2 linux-api-headers-3.7.4-1 mkinitcpio-0.12.0-3 sudo-1.8.6.p5-1 transmission-gtk-2.76-2
But then I've got following error (translated from German to English)
Error: Could not complete procedure (conflicts in files)
filesystem: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem
Any idea?
Best regards
Steffo

[Solved]Error with installing package: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem

So i know there are other posts about this and i have read them and I have also read the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … _in_.2Flib and also this forum post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156942
the error i get when trying to install a package from the AUR
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
hp-health: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I tried to find who owned the files/package in the /lib by the following commands
$ grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files
$ find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +
the output was
/lib is owned by filesystem 2015.02-1
Im confused what to do at this point as the wiki that I linked above says
If any package apart from glibc is listed as owning a file, that package needs to be updated to install its files in /usr/lib
Last edited by PigsInSpace (2015-03-01 02:25:24)

You are following directions for a file conflict with /lib for a very specific one-time manual intervention, but you don't have that file conflict according to the error message you posted and it is not for that intervention. See this instead: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … 9.22_error then report the error on the aur page for that package.
This fixes it:
package() {
cd "$srcdir"
+ mv usr/lib64 usr/lib
cp -a opt usr var "$pkgdir"

Error installing package from AUR. /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem

I installed the package zoneminder-xinetd 1.27.0-1 using the instruction on the wiki, the installation finished successfully. then I realized that the package was outdated, so I uninstalled it using "sudo pacman -R zoneminder-xinetd", manually edit the files .AURINFO and PKGBUILD to get the new version, compiled successfully using 'makepkg -s' but when I'm try to install it(sudo pacman -U zoneminder-xinetd-1.28.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz) I got this error:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
zoneminder-xinetd: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I also tried to install this other package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zoneminder after removing some unwanted dependencies but i get the same error.

Allan's blog has a good description (see the section "Directory Symlink Handling") http://allanmcrae.com/2014/12/pacman-4-2-released/. I suggest you inform the maintainers of those packages so that they may update the PKGBUILDs.
Thanks for the quick answer.
I solved this issue by adding "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/lib" to the cmake in the PKGBUILD. The mantainer of the zoneminder package solved this already by adding "-DZM_PERL_SUBPREFIX=/lib/perl5 \".
Also, I adopted the zoneminder-xinetd package .

Glibc update problem. glibc: "/lib64 exists in filesystem"

Hi. I am going through the glibc update problem. I have followed (kind of) the steps from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … iki:usrlib
I have performed the upgrade with the "ignore" flag. But I am still getting this:
nlw@pathfinder:~$ sudo pacman -Su
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
glibc: /lib64 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
nlw@pathfinder:~$
Notice that there is no error message involving /lib, only lib64. (I have a 64bit system btw.)
The grep command from the wiki only lists glibc stuff, both for lib and lib64. The find only lists glibc stuff for /lib, but I get this for the the find in /lib/64:
nlw@pathfinder:/lib64$ find /lib64 -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +
error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib64'
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is owned by glibc 2.15-11
/lib64/ld-2.15.so is owned by glibc 2.15-11
error: No package owns /lib64/libc.so.6
nlw@pathfinder:/lib64$
Any ideas what to do now?

OK, so this /lib64/libc.so.6 was just a symbolic link to /lib/libc.so.6. I probably created it myself, probably because of some program like Matlab... Removed the link and pacman -Su worked. Thanks for the attention and sorry for the noise!

[SOLVED] Error '/usr/lib64 exists' while installing adol-c

I just tried to install adol-c from the AUR. At the end of the install I ran into this error message:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
adol-c: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
The install generated these errors earlier on:
Prefix /usr not writable
please run ./configure --prefix=DIR
with a writable directory path otherwise administrator privileges
will be required to run `make install'
libtool: warning: remember to run 'libtool --finish /usr/lib64'
Does this mean the adol-c package wanted to create /usr/lib64? That seems weird.
(I used yaourt.)
Last edited by khouli (2015-05-21 00:25:13)

Ah, good to know. Yep, /usr/lib64 is a symlink to /usr/lib.
Here's the snippet from the PKGBUILD that sets --prefix. It isn't actually naming /usr/lib64 explicitly.
./configure --enable-sparse --with-colpack=/usr --prefix=/usr --enable-shared=no
If I try changing --prefix to /usr/lib then I get essentially the same error but it notes that now it's /usr/lib that isn't writable instead of /usr.
Prefix /usr not writable
please run ./configure --prefix=DIR
with a writable directory path otherwise administrator privileges
will be required to run `make install'
This is all occurring as part of a makepkg command so getting an error about privileges has me confused.

A rookie mistake on my part. I was assuming that if `yaourt -Suy` gave this message then pacman would as well. I tried

[SOLVED] linux: /boot/vmlinuz-linux exists in filesystem

I have had this issue for a while now. I ignored it but now I'd like to be able to upgrade. Pacman throws this error:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
linux: /boot/vmlinuz-linux exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
There are now news at archlinux.org, and I'm hesitant to use the --force flag. What do you suggest? Also, I have linux-ck-kernel, if that's relevant to the issue.
Last edited by rubik (2015-01-21 14:19:37)

I don't know how I installed linux-ck-kernel, it's been a while. I probably followed the wiki.
@a821: Here are the commands' outputs:
$ pacman -Qo /boot/vmlinuz-linux
error: No package owns /boot/vmlinuz-linux
$ uname -a
Linux miki-laptop 3.17.5-1-ck #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 7 07:23:18 EST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'm puzzled! Why would pacman care about that file if no package owns it?! The wiki says that in this case I should rename it and update again. I'll try and see what happens.

[solved] build failing: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgd

I'm trying to satisfy crossover dependencies and recommendations. Found lib32-libgphoto2 on AUR with a few dependencies of its own, all of which I installed succesfully.
When doing a makepkg for lib32-libgphoto2 I get the following error:

In that blob of text it says 'skipping incompatible' so it found something but I don't know to fix that or find out what it needs. A search on the internet I found that the message (in title) means I'm missing 32-bit library for gd, so I pulled that from AUR and installed it, but its still giving me this message.
Any ideas what I need to do to get this to build?
Thanks in advance.
Last edited by mouseman (2014-05-05 05:24:27)

The linker tries to find libgd. so. If you build lib32-libgphoto2, I guess from the name that you are building a 32 bit package on a 64 bits installation. You should have the 32 bit version of libgd. so and you only have the 64 bit version (hence skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libgd.so). Note that I have not found this version in the multilib repository (nor on AUR), I think you will have to build it yourself.

[SOLVED] PKGBUILD /lib exists in filesystem

I know there's a lot of topics similar to this with particular files conflicting with various packages when installing, but I couldn't quite see the issue with my PKGBUILD.
PKGBUILD contents (without the vars):

While building:

I don't understand why the problem is the symbolic links at /lib and /usr/sbin. Doesn't cp -dpr follow the symlinks?

Audiofile libxvmc libxdamage sysfsutils exists in filesystem [Solved]

I've done a pacman -Syu tonight, and I cannot get the above packages to update, getting lots of "exists in filesystem" errors. I'm not finding any info on these.
I had trouble with klibc but ultimately got it to update by updating all klibc* packages together, as someone suggested.

I ran through a pacman -Qo on all the files listed as errors under audiofile, all show that no package owns them.
I will proceed to rename the files carrying the error and rerun pacman for the packages, see if everything is ok. If no further errors, will delete the packages. (Dug deeper into the forums to find this method...)

FYI: archlinux is widely known for our excellent wiki. Be sure to check there and search the forums before starting new threads. Many problems can be solved with a good search.
As a second FYI, I don't know if the use of the manjaro boards (linked in OP) was just a coincidence of what your previous search gave you or if you are using Manjaro. If it's the latter there are many differences between Manjaro and Archlinux. In this case they are similar enough to share a solution, but in other cases we would be unable to help you here. In short, if you are using Manjaro, be sure to ask on their forums if you have future problems.

Recently I did have a problem with my pacman DB files over here but I fixed that. I also tried now making a new empty /var/lib/pacman/sync directory but the output is the same as above.
I tried Googling for this issue but I am not succeededing.
Can anyone advise what I can do to troubleshoot this?

Thank you for that link.
I checked the first two /usr/bin/ldbadd and /usr/bin/ldbdel and no package owns them. So I ran:
sudo pacman -S --force lib32-libdbus
because now I got:
:: Replace lib32-dbus-core with multilib/lib32-libdbus? [Y/n]
because I just enabled multilib in order to upgrade skype (which worked). Anyhow, the install of lib32-libdbus worked fine, but
pacman -Syu
still gives all the errors above. Should I try to rename all those files?
Your title however is misleading - nothing says files are missing, the problem is those files are already there but pacman doesn't know why.
Well, I also see this:
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/ldb-1.1.16-1/desc: No such file or directory
as well as another. So something does appear to be missing to me.

[SOLVED] Error "libpng12: /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 exists in filesystem".

I've just tried to install the stable "google-chrome" package from AUR with the command. I have all of the dependencies already installed except for these two:
- libjpeg6 (building from AUR)
- libpng12 (package found)
When the package manage tries to install "libpng12-1.2.43-1", I get the following error:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
libpng12: /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
According to the file manager (Thunar), the file /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 is a link to /usr/lib/libpng.so.
This is probably a silly question (as I'm a clueless newbie!) but... can I just delete this link and expect the installation of libpng12 to replace it so that everything will still work...?
Thanks in advance :-)

A tip: run pacman -Qo on the file in question, either you put that symlink there yourself or strange things are happening on your system.
