Tom, All,
I ran into the following error regarding util-linux upgrade. I've looked in the forum and the website, but nothing specific to it. The error is:
(72/72) checking for file conflicts [###########################################] 100% error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) util-linux: /bin/login exists in filesystem
[...]
Check the ArchLinux ARM forum:
http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3036&p=18467
where filesystem upgrade is suggested:
pacman -Syuf
But, I'd wait until someone confirms it is the right way to go.
never -Syuf never -Suf never force an upgrade
In this particular case, what about:
pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem && pacman -S filesystem --force
what is advised on the ArchLinux ARM forum too.
(Disclaimer: I'm newbie here.)
This is only valid concerning the update of the filesystem package from before 2012.6-2 to >= 2012.6-2 as noted in the newsitem [1]. Never use force if it was not advised like this in a newsitem.

Thanks Ike, that's really helpful bit. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
