Good morning guys,
Let me clarify a few things. 1- I didn't correctly understand the post from Allan about toolchain, thus my brocken update when #pacman - S filesystem 2- As a newbye, I usually pay lots attention to upgrades and this is my first serious issue. It was late and was totally under heavy stress. This lead me to some mistakes I realized this morning. 3-on Archiso, I mounted the wrong /usr (/dev/sdb4 when 3 was correct) + i didn't correctly #pacman - r with /mnt as target. So no surprise my system is borke. 4- back to Archiso this morning, I still can't #pacman - Syu filesystem glibc - r /mnt. Error: /mnt/usr/lib64 exist in filesystem.
What am I supposed to do now?
If you're really stuck, you can always create an empty directory, and extract the glibc package into it, and manually update the files from there. There's probably an easier way, though. Some first thoughts: have you found out what is in the existing /mnt/usr/lib64? Is it a symlink, or a real directory? What package owns the files that are in there? Paul
