 I had a problem with this

# pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem
...
(77/91) upgrading postfix
     [############################################] 100%
warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf installed as /etc/postfix/main.cf.pacnew
/tmp/alpm_Pd1z7b/.INSTALL: /usr/lib/postfix/post-install: /bin/sh: bad
interpreter: No such file or directory

...

# pacman -Su

(1/1) 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.


# ls -l /bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 593296 Nov  3  2011 mbchk


Suggestions for best way to recover from this?

Thanks
