During your next update, you will get a error message like:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
filesystem: /bin exists in filesystem-
Fix any non-official packages with files in /bin, /sbin or /usr/sbin to put those files in /usr/bin. The list of packages that are not in a repo that need to be fixed can be generated using:
Also check packages installed from non-official repos using:$ pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin | pacman -Qm -$ paclist <repo> | awk ' { print $1 } ' | pacman -Ql - | grep ' /s\?bin/\| /usr/sbin/' - Make sure any packages in IgnorePkg or IgnoreGroup do not have files in /bin, /sbin or /usr/sbin. Fix them if necessary.
- If you have files in /bin, /sbin or /usr/sbin that are unowned by any package, you need to move them. Find a list using:
$ find /bin /sbin /usr/sbin -exec pacman -Qo -- {} + >/dev/null - Ensure all partitions are mounted if using autofs. They may not automount when needed later in this update.
-
Update your system.
Before performing this update, you may want to ensure you have a second terminal open with root privileges in the unlikely event of an emergency, particularly if updating over ssh.
# pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash # pacman -S bash # pacman -Su
