I did almost every day an update since I 'convert' this system from parabolagnulinux to arch linux. First this system was installed as arch linux, then it has ben converted into parabolagnulinux, and finally it was reconverted back into arch linux. > try "pacman -Syu -ignore filesystem ; pacman -S filesystem" I tried this abowe and the first part is executed successfully, but after that just can't to reinstall the filesystem package because of the existence of the /usr/lib64/ directory. > otherwise read through all of the https://www.archlinux.org/news/ and check > the steps you need to do for every update you missed so far. As I tould abowe, I did update almost every day. What to do next? -- Regards from Pal
