Draft upgrade 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) <(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) Update your system: $ pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem $ pacman -Su
I just upgraded to the [staging] repo because packages I use are rebuilt... Doing a "pacman -Syu" gave a conflict as expected. Did not test that "pacman -Syu --force" failed, because it was on my only working system at the moment. The followed the instructions above. Rebooted at the end for good measure. DONE! No issues.
