Hi, all.

I'm a newcomer to Arch Linux so excuse my ignorance.

I attempted to update yesterday (pacman -Syu) & I got this message at the end of the update:

'(121/121) checking for file conflicts [#################################################] 100% error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) filesystem: /bin exists in filesystem filesystem: /sbin exists in filesystem filesystem: /usr/sbin exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.'

Can anybody tell me what it means & how to go about fixing it (I've got Arch running on a VPS).

Many thanks,

Cheers,

Or reinstall Arch using the latest iso. It might be faster and easier.
