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.)

that is different. you aren't forcing the update.

Understood.

I have not used archlinuxarm.

I have not used it either.

You could always go ask in #archlinux-arm on freenode

No, because I'm asking about ArchLinux and its pacman. I'm not interested in ArchLinux ARM. Best regards. -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
