All Arch Linux packages that had files in this directory have been updated, so update these individually first. Any AUR packages with files in this directory should be updated to install them in /usr/lib. « afaik there was a wiki page about this too check what files you have in /usr/lib64/ and why. if they are from packages remove those packages. -- damjan
