All,
After working through the glibc update on several boxes, there should be a
_note_ added to the wiki. You should check the ownership of files in /lib
_before_ attempting any part of the latest update with:
$ find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +
You will need to rebuild _all_ custom packages _before_ issuing:
# pacman -Syu --ignore glibc
Or you will be left _unable_ to rebuild the packages until you have finished
the update due to the state of your system after pacman -Syu --ignore glibc.
I know most of you know this, but for anyone who simply follows the wiki and
gets to "Issue 2: The final "pacman -Su" still has conflicts in /lib" -- it will
be too late at that point. At this point, just complete the update by whatever
means necessary to get the remaining non-glibc owned files out of /lib, complete
the update, then rebuild what you need.
I didn't add the note to the wiki. I can, but don't want to do so until
getting any feedback here.
