System Upgrade /lib Problems on Raspberry Pi

Question

I have downloaded the latest Arch Linux Arm image from Arch Linux Arm and flashed it onto my Raspberry Pi.  I'm trying to do a system upgrade, but I'm getting stuck trying to work around the /lib folder move. 
Following the wiki here:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … iki:usrlib
I've run the following command successfully:
    pacman -Syu --ignore glibc,curl
But when I run this:
    pacman -Su
I get the following error:
[root@alarmpi ~]# pacman -Syu

This is 'issue 2' in the wiki, but the only files left in /lib are owned by glibc.  So the advice doesn't help:

Any advice?

Answer 1

Thanks for the response
@ngoonee: I'm not sure what that command does.  Here is what's in my /lib folder:
[root@alarmpi ~]# ls /lib
ld-2.15.so libcidn.so.1 libm.so.6 libnss_dns.so.2 libnss_nis.so.2 libSegFault.so
ld-linux.so.3 libcrypt-2.15.so libnsl-2.15.so libnss_files-2.15.so libpcprofile.so libthread_db-1.0.so
libanl-2.15.so libcrypt.so.1 libnsl.so.1 libnss_files.so.2 libpthread-2.15.so libthread_db.so.1
libanl.so.1 libc.so.6 libnss_compat-2.15.so libnss_hesiod-2.15.so libpthread.so.0 libutil-2.15.so
libBrokenLocale-2.15.so libdl-2.15.so libnss_compat.so.2 libnss_hesiod.so.2 libresolv-2.15.so libutil.so.1
libBrokenLocale.so.1 libdl.so.2 libnss_db-2.15.so libnss_nis-2.15.so libresolv.so.2 modules
libc-2.15.so libm-2.15.so libnss_db.so.2 libnss_nisplus-2.15.so librt-2.15.so
libcidn-2.15.so libmemusage.so libnss_dns-2.15.so libnss_nisplus.so.2 librt.so.1
Is there anywhere else that I should look?
@bernarcher: Where is the 'ARM boards', is that a forum on this site?
