New thread for ongoing updates to instructions as issues are noticed:
Updates fix: - post_install scripts can call scripts with /bin/bash shebangs (e.g. mkinitcpio). - pamcan -Qm sorting is not consistent with that from "sort" in some locales - autofs and non-mounted partitions
Further update... mention non-official repos
--- Update Instructions ---
1) Fix any non-official packages with files in /bin, /sbin or /usr/sbin to put those files in /usr/bin. The list of packages that are not in a repo that need to be fixed can be generated using: $ comm -12 <(pacman -Qqm | sort) <(pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin | sort -u)
Also check packages installed from non-official repos using: $ paclist <repo> | awk ' { print $1 } ' | pacman -Ql - | grep ' /s\?bin/\| /usr/sbin/'
2) Make sure any packages in IgnorePkg or IgnoreGroup do not have files in /bin, /sbin, or /usr/sbin. Fix them if necessary.
3) If you have files in /bin, /sbin or /usr/sbin that are unowned by any package, you need to move them. Find a list using: $ find /bin /sbin /usr/sbin -exec pacman -Qo -- {} + >/dev/null
4) Ensure all partitions are mounted if using autofs. They may not automount when needed later in this update.
5) Update your system: # pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash
We should mention that at this point, the user will not be able to log in via ssh or virtual console. It is best to have a second terminal open just in case.
# pacman -S bash # pacman -Su
I think for the final announcement, we should also add a sentence explaining the conflicts: "The update merges all binaries into a unified /usr/bin directory. This step removes a distinction that has been meaningless for Arch systems and simplifies package maintenance for the development team." Something like that.
