think the reason why you are having a much more serious issue is that it seems you haven't updated your system in a long time. So now you're running into
Approximately a month, I believe. Certainly not a whole lot longer. I don't regard that as a long time, but perhaps in the arch world it is. But since the box I'm upgrading often goes a couple of months without even being powered up, it would be hard to upgrade more frequently.
No, a month is not a long time. I would have thought more than half a year (which is still not awfully long, but would mean you would be hit by the problem explained in http://allanmcrae.com/2012/07/updating-arch-linux-from-a-core-install/). Anyway, I didn't mean to imply that you have to update at a certain frequency, just to offer a possible explanation why you are seeing problems that relatively few other people are seeing. -t
