[SOLVED] Upgrade - filesystem and glibc again

I did not update for almost 3 month now, and tried to follow the advice on the archlinux homepage, but it doesn't work.     
First trial:
pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem && pacman -S filesystem --force
error:
glibc: /lib exist in filesystem
ghc: /usr/bin/haddock exist in filesystem
Second trial:
pacman -Syu --ignore glibc
[Never use --force during this update].
error:
:: libcanberra-pulse: needs libcanberra=0.28-4
:: pyqt: needs python-sip
There are hundreds of posts to similar problems, but I really don't know where I fit in with my problem. Did I mess up my system using force in the first trial? I had /var/lock and /var/run as symlinks already before trying the update.
How can I update now? Will my system be gone when I try to reboot?
Thanks for any tips

I followed the recipe till this point:
pacman -Sy
rm -rf /var/run /var/lock && pacman -Sf filesystem
pacman -S tzdata
pacman -U http://pkgbuild.com/~allan/glibc-2.16.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
rm /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
pacman -Su --ignore glibc
and everything went fine, luckily,
then I had this error:
ghc: /usr/bin/haddock existist in filesystem
shall I simply delete this (symlink)?
EDIT:
well, I deleted it, and went for the next (last) step of the recipe
pacman -Su
but got:
glibc: /lib exist in filesystem
EDIT 2:
After deleting /lib/modules/ following the wiki recipe cited on this page it finally worked.
Quite complicated, the whole thing, but thanks to everybody for the help.

  • [SOLVED]-Upgraded motherboard and CPU-UUID error?

    I upgraded (replaced) my motherboard and CPU-from a dual core to a 3 core AMD.  Still on AM2 socket with DDR2 memory.
    Arch-Fallback boots fine.  But my normal Arch will not get to drive checks and boot.  The errors allude to Arch wanting to change drive UUIDs but failing.  It ends with a command ramfs$ prompt-but keyboard input does not work at it...even though keyboard in BIOS works fine
    Any theories how to get the regular Arch to boot?  This bug is the only real problem with the process-I haven't done anything else to prepare or finish the upgrade.  And as I said Arch-Fallback boots and works beautifully.
    Errors say:
    Loading filesystem module
    Attempting to create device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/blah blah blah'
    ERROR; Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/disk/by-uuid/blah blah blah'
    ERROR: root fs cannot be detected
    happens 3 times for each of patitions mounted on system at boot.  The root UUID I know exists, as it is in GRUB to load Arch to begin with.

  • Upgrade quality and Hal - again

    Upgrading Arch is a hit or miss operation. Usually the kernel is not panicking, usually the settings in Firefox and other apps are carried over, quite frequently even Hal is working after an upgrade. Too often, though, this is not true.
    On my system, Hal has intermittently been working fine, partly or not at all after upgrades over the last year. Today it stopped working again, so I searched this site and found this suggestion for the .xinitrc file:
    exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session ck-launch-session startkde
    This helped me to at least get access to a dvd, but not to unmount/eject it. Dolphin displays a msg about the device being busy, and here are some tidbits from the command line:
    [pelagos@blabla ~]$ umount /media/Trav_20091128
    umount: /media/Trav_20091128 is not mounted (according to mtab)
    [pelagos@blabla ~]$ ls /media
    Trav_20091128 cd dvd fl
    [pelagos@blabla ~]$ eject
    /sbin/umount.hal: Unmounting /media/Trav_20091128 failed: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Busy: umount: /media/Trav_20091128 : device is busy.
    eject: unmount of `/media/Trav_20091128 ' failed
    [pelagos@blabla ~]$
    Something in the system is obviously aware of the mounted dvd and, funnily, after several unsuccessful tries, the dvd is magically released and ejected. As if a time-lock had been set...
    The latest upgrade also changed all the fonts on my system, including Firefox, and Firefox has even lost my passwords. Not exactly what you want if you happen to have work to do...

  • [SOLVED] broken system and glibc update

    So i tried to update today like any other day and got this error :
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    glibc: /lib exists in filesystem
    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    After reading the news i proceed to do : "sudo pacman -Syu --ignore glibc", which worked perfectly but "sudo pacman -Su" kept sending me the previous error.
    The command "find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +" found that no package except glibc owned files in /lib.
    Then i red "you can safely remove that directory". So i did "sudo srm -r /lib". Screen went black. I realised my error, panicked and shutdown manually.
    When i boot i've got now this :
    error loading shared libraries libdl.so.2
    (none) login :
    (and a /bin/bash error i forgot to wrote down)
    I'm on an ubuntu partition right now. The symlink /lib/libdl.so.2 is broken. And i'm desperate, any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
    (Sorry for my bad english)

    after search the forum, I found a post last year

    I only have the file " install " in /var/lib/pacman/local/filesystem-2011.08-1/

    total 4.0K
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.6K Aug 10 07:41 install
    I checked another machine which also installed Arch Linux,
    it's package number is filesystem-2011.04-1
    ls -l /var/lib/pacman/local/filesystem-2011.04-1/
    total 12

    Should I just copy the " desc " and " files " to my computer, then run `pacman -Syu` again
    or
    Upgrade that machine's filesystem to 2011.08-1, then copy the files to my computer to fix it ?
    ( I am afraid of upgrade error again)

    after searching on the web, I found that maybe an old harmless problem related to kernel ?
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=293179
    also found an error in  /var/log/daemon.log
    Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.Avahi': timed out
    there is already a post about it, but not having a conclusion yet
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124485
    Every things seen to work fine now
    After few more test and reboot, I would mark this post [solved]
    Thanks to everyone for replying m(_ _)m
    P.S.
    There is still a problem when using virtualbox 4.1.2-1 after reboot, but I think that may not related to this post
    If I try to upgrade kernel of the VM to 3.0.2-1  ( currently 3.0.1-1 ), will cause VirtualBox and my computer crash
    generating some assert error, produce segfault when I tried to type any command in shell
    unable to launch any program in X, but if I switch to tty*, I only got
    INIT:Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
    So I have to push the reset button to force reboot
    after restore VM to previous snapshot, not having any problem so far

  • [Solved]Updated system, and dealing with glibc issue.

    I neglected to update/use Arch for quite some time, and decided to last night. I quickly encountered problems and I've read https://www.archlinux.org/news/filesyst … equired-1/, https://www.archlinux.org/news/the-lib- … a-symlink/, https://www.archlinux.org/news/fontconf … -required/, http://allanmcrae.com/2012/07/updating- … e-install/, and many threads about issues with filesystem and/or glibc.
    First, I followed the instructions to resolve the issue with fontconfig.
    <read various threads>
    Then, I landed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … iki:usrlib. I installed glibc-2.16.0-1-x86_64 using the instructions provided. IIRC, I was still experiencing conflicts with filesystem. I came across a thread where a user stated that instructions from Allan McRae's blog (from the link at the top) allowed him to upgrade his system. I tried it out, and I got around the filesystem issue as well as the issue with dependencies linked to tzdata, etc. My issue now lies with the pacman -Su step:
    [asdf@asdf ~]$ sudo pacman -Su
    :: Starting full system upgrade...
    resolving dependencies...
    looking for inter-conflicts...
    Targets (1): glibc-2.16.0-5

    On an irrelevant note, a red flag went up earlier. By some means, it appears I messed up Arch. Is there a chance I can fix the issue with the kernel or is the best option a reinstall?

    I checked out https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Initramfs, and I'm not sure what to do. I rebooted a few times in attempt to get things going. I'm assuming I need to start by logging in to the live CD as root and mounting the sda in which Arch is installed? I don't know how to mount root nor know the complete title for the Arch partition (sda x,x). Sorry for the hassle.
    Edit: Found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ch … partitions. Be back in a bit.
    I currently have the temporary filesystems mounted, chrooted, and am in bash.
    # mkinitcpio -p linux
    doesn't work. I tried
    mkinitcpio -g ..... 3.6.10-1-ARCH
    and I received something about 3.6.10 and a module directory.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • [SOLVED] Need help with glibc and symlinking /lib

    So, I consider myself a fairly experienced linux user, and have been an Arch user for the last 3 years, but this glibc-stuff is just too complicated for me.
    I tried the following:
    > pacman -Syu --ignore glibc
    > pacmen -Su
    (1/1) checking for file conflicts
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflictin
    glibc: /lib exists in filesystem
    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    Alright, lets try the next trick on the wiki-page
    > find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} + | grep -v glibc
    error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib'
    error: No package owns /lib/libnss_db-2.15.so
    error: No package owns /lib/libcidn-2.15.so

    error: No package owns /lib/libnss_compat-2.15.so
    error: No package owns /lib/libc-2.15.so

    error: No package owns /lib/libdl-2.15.so
    error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib/udev'
    error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib/udev/rules.d'
    error: No package owns /lib/libnsl-2.15.so
    error: No package owns /lib/libm-2.15.so
    error: No package owns /lib/libnss_nis-2.15.so

    error: No package owns /lib/cpp
    error: No package owns /lib/libpthread-2.15.so
    error: No package owns /lib/libnss_files-2.15.so
    /lib/udev/rules.d/45-libnjb.rules is owned by libnjb 2.2.7-1
    So, I made a backup, and started deleting the files one by one. All is fine, until I delete "/lib/librt-2.15.so" - date and cat refuses to work.
    What am I supposed to do here? The wiki suggests to move or delete all the files to /usr/lib - How do I know what to delete and what to move?

    Yep, and this shows something interesting: Apperently both libnjb and glibc wants ownership over /lib.
    What to do?

  • I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to 10.0.2 and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version and once again nothing.

    I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?

    I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

    Please note that using system restore would usually damage the Firefox installation.

  • *** ACTUAL FIX! *** How to solve the Windows 8 "Sorry, something happened and we couldn't finish creating the ISO. Restart setup and try again" problem

    Author's note: because I'm not yet allowed to post links in the forums, please note that all links have
    dot for the actual . in links, and any "http://" is spaced out so things don't appear as links.  Common sense, folks.
    I found the answer here: http:// wwwdoteightforumsdotcom/tutorials/13200-windows-8-upgrade-iso-redownload.html,
    but here's the brief summary:
    -I'm guessing that at some point, you probably downloaded the Windows 8 preview, yes?  For whatever reason, when you go to do it "for real," the Windows 8 setup doesn't overwrite the old file, called the "WebSetup"
    folder.  If that folder is still there, you'll get the "Sorry, something happened and we couldn't finish creating the ISO.  Restart setup and try again" message.
    The location of the folder is at: C:\%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebSetup
    where %UserProfile% is the user account you downloaded it under (probably your default account) - this is the folder you need to delete.
    Once that folder is deleted, run the Windows 8 setup file (found here: http:// windowsdotmicrosoftdotcom/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only if
    you haven't, like me, already downloaded it 8 different times thinking it was a corrupted file), and it should prompt you at that point for your product key - which is something it wasn't doing for me.  After that, you can choose to make it an ISO, run
    it normally, run it from USB, etc.
    It'd be helpful if Microsoft knew about this... hope it helps...

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

    I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up.  Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later.  I have not seen a solution posted.  Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem?  I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

    with the help of judd i was able to fix this issue, it was an old file directory in the pacman directories.
