Hey all, Allan pushed glib 2.16-2 into [testing] which removes /lib as a directory, replacing it with a symlink. A bit of advice... - In the simplest case, the upgrade can be done as simply as: pacman -Syu --ignore glibc && pacman -S glibc - Since nothing is ever simple, if the above still fails on installation of glibc (with a somewhat cryptic "/lib exists" error), you'll need to figure out what's still in /lib that doesn't belong to glibc. Generally this will end up being modules/. pacman -Qo /lib/* will pinpoint what needs fixing/removing. Deal with anything that isn't owned explicitly by glibc and complete the installation. It shouldn't need to be said, but I'll mention it anyways: Do. Not. Use. (the) --force. Obi-wan approves of this. d
