Dang, archlinux.org is not loading for me. It must be down... because there is actually a sticky on this that has to do with klibc. Anyhow, the sticky pretty much said that you could delete all of those.. Of course, instead of deleting, I recommend moving it to another directory or renaming it. If pacman successfully works and everything is fully functional still such as being able to boot, then I would remove it.
Since youre new, I would recommend looking at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/lpi-101-fundamentals-p1.xml to learn a bit more about rm, specifically with rm -fr and the wildcard (*) so you can do this task with ease.
Let us know how it goes. :)On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 9:39 PM, Preston C. <gprestonc@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I am following the Beginner's Guide to try and get AL installed, and
have come across a problem. I made it to the part about updating the
system, before the installation of ALSA and X.
Here is the problem:
Two nights ago I ran pacman -Syu . For some reason it did not install
properly, possibly because I did not have the network setup right at
the time, because of an update to pacman. Nevertheless, I finally got
around to trying again tonight, and the update this time was not 100+
MB it was 27 MB. I imagine this is because Arch Linux saved the
updates downloaded the other night.
Now tonight, when I ran the command pacman -Syu, after downloading 27
MB of updates, pacman was in the process of installing them and then,
at the very beginning, pretty much on every package downloaded, it
said that the files "exists in filesystem".
Any help on fixing the exists in filesystem problem on pretty much
every package, I think, would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Preston
