When the initial pacman -Syu --ignore glibc moved libpam* from /lib to /usr/lib, it left the system unable to build packages that required libpam. I guess the search-path information was hardcoded in the configure.in. I rebuilt the packages that needed rebuilding (hal, shadow (modified), and virtualbox (aur)) on a second box and rsynced the new binaries to the box that was partially updated. After installing the new packages that removed all ownership from /lib (except for glibc), the final 'pacman -Su' completed fine. Progress is always a bit trying, but all in all, Arch did a good job with the move. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
