I just resolved the problem on my server, you can stop the services that have files in /var/run and /var/lock. Then delete the directories and create the symlink. I managed to get it work without stopping all services (remote control via ssh). And as mentionned by Javier & Kacper: http://www.archlinux.org/news/filesystem-upgrade-manual-intervention-require...

According to the posts I saw the way forward is to do (as root): pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem && pacman -S filesystem --force I did this and the update continues - you get warnings at the end of it as warning: directory permissions differ on sys/ filesystem: 755 package: 555 This is the new "normal" and the system should then work fine after that upgrade of filesystem -- mike c

Take care to do it if and only if /var/lock and /var/run are already symlinks ! On my installation they were mounted as tmpfs, which required more intervention.
