I use symlinks for some directories (e.g. /srv/http and /var/spool/mail are sym links to dedicated disks) When i update the filesystem package I get this error: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) filesystem: /srv/http exists in filesystem filesystem: /var/spool/mail exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. What is the recommended way to deal with this? My version is: filesystem 2014.10-3 Trying to update to : filesystem-2015.02-1 in testing repo. Thanks. Gene

Answering my own posting. Switching from sym link to bind mount makes everything work. This seems to be the needed behaviour now with pacman 4.2 anyway.
