[arch-general] filesystem package update
Hi list, I'm trying to update my system and the filesystem package gives me some trouble: [quote] # pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date multilib is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...

[/quote] What is the correct procedure from here on (besides making a backup)? I know that I should not use the --force option with the filesystem package. Thanks for your help

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.

I just copied /var/lib/pacman/local/filesystem-2014.07-1/files from another, non-broken, installation and everything seems to work again. Is there anything else I have to pay attention to?

If 'testdb' and 'pacman -Qqk' don't report anything you're good. --byte
