[arch-general] pacman upgrade confusion
Readers,
An announcement (https://www.archlinux.org/news/required-update-to-pacman-501-before-2016-04-...) states that users must upgrade to pacman501.
pacman -S pacman warning: pacman-5.0.0-1 is up to date -- reinstalling resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...
Packages (1) pacman-5.0.0-1
Firstly, I tried:
yaourt -Syua package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Then:
pacman -S pacman warning: pacman-5.0.0-1 is up to date -- reinstalling resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...
Packages (1) pacman-5.0.0-1 pacman --version
.--. Pacman v5.0.0 - libalpm v10.0.0 / _.-' .-. .-. .-. Copyright (C) 2006-2016 Pacman Development Team \ '-. '-' '-' '-' Copyright (C) 2002-2006 Judd Vinet '--' This program may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
What am I doing wrong, to prevent update to pacman501?

You should run `pacman -Syu' to fully upgrade you system.
Are all mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist still up-to-date? Assumed the installed version of the package pacman-mirrorlist should be up-to-date, check if the mirrors are still available by /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew. Since your official _un_supported tool yaourt failed, you at least need to run, pacman -Syu and not just pacman -S, even if the mirror list still should be ok.
