Hi list,
I'm trying to update my system and the filesystem package gives me some trouble:
Packages (2):
Name Old Version New Version Net Change
core/filesystem 2014.07-1 2014.10-3 0.01 MiB core/iana-etc 2.30-4 3.56 MiB
Total Installed Size: 3.57 MiB
It looks like your current installation is quite broken... filesystem 2014.07 should own all those files, and iana-etc has been a dependency of filesystem for a long time. Did you do anything unusual when you updated to filesystem 2014.07?
The only thing I can think off is a system crash during an update a long time ago. I think I had to remove pacman's lockfile manually after the next reboot but had no other trouble with that. Is there a way to fix the ownerships of this directories/files? I can't find anything in pacman's manpage and Google didn't turn up with anything promising either.
