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 --- 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 to be fixed can be generated using: $ comm -12 <(pacman -Qqm | sort) <(pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin | sort -u) 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 # pacman -S bash # pacman -Su --- End ---
