Right then

Hi ..

I have followed all there is to follow tried all i can find to try yet
i am still getting

What has got to be done to solve this once and for all ..
lib is a symlink to usr/lib..

# l lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 17 16:08 lib -> usr/lib/

pacman -Qo /lib/*

Just generates screens full of the below

error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib/akonadi'
error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib/alsa-lib'
error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib/ao'
/lib/apr.exp is owned by apr 1.4.6-1
error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib/apr-util-1'
/lib/aprutil.exp is owned by apr-util 1.4.1-1
/lib/aspell is owned by aspell 0.60.6.1-1
error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib/aspell-0.60'
error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib/atkmm-1.6'
/lib/attica_kde.so is owned by kdebase-runtime 4.8.4-2


And
grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files | grep -v glibc

Generates absolutely nothing


so what gives ..

Pete .

Hm.... how did /lib end up as a symlink to /usr/lib without those
files being owned by glibc? Did you just copy it over manually and
create the link yourself?

Quite easily

I followed what was on the Arch web site and the links therein
nothing fancy

It might help to know which steps you took.

Afaik, the instructions were to check if any files were still in /lib
-other then glibc's- and to rebuild those packages. But maybe you took some
other steps?

Checking the ownership of files in the symlinked /lib has little purpose.

Just my two cents.

So if /lib is NOT a symlink, then all you should need is to delete all
the files in /usr/lib that are not owned by any package. Then you
should be able to upgrade.

grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files | grep -v glibc

returns nothing at all


Please try that with

grep -v "local/glibc-2.16.0"


grep -v glibc is too simple actually and will filter out lib32-glibc for
example.

And if /lib IS a symbolic link, delete it and let the glibc sync create it.

No. Then you'll lose your loader and can't do anything...
